stool test again

I had to get the stool test done again but the doctor hasn't said anything the reason why it is,

  • Hello, and thanks for your post,

    having to repeat a stool test does happen from time to time when the result is not clear. The GP may not be able to tell you anything as they may not be sure themselves.

    Health talk is a registered charity and have presented some of the reasons why patients have to repeat a stool test which you may find helpful to look at here

    Try not to over think it for now. There may be many different reasons why they were unable to process the sample.

    If at any stage you would like to ring and talk any of this through with one of the helpline nurses then you are very welcome to give us a ring.

    Our helpline number is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and we are here Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm.

    All the best,

    Catherine
