Changes in the digestive system are often associated with intraluminal bleeding. The presence of blood in the stool can be caused by ulcers, hemorrhoids or colon cancer. The POLY-Check ^® LabHome test is also performed as an important element of colorectal cancer prevention, as it can detect polyps, enteritis, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease and colorectal cancer. Preventive tests increase the likelihood of detecting abnormalities at an early stage of development that can be effectively treated.

It is worth doing an occult blood test if there are disturbances in the rhythm of bowel movements, including diarrhea and the need to use the toilet frequently, severe abdominal pain or obesity. Factors that predispose to the test include poor nutrition, advanced age, inflammation of the large intestine, high blood pressure, the presence of polyps in the large intestine, gastric ulcers, diseases in relatives and the previous appearance of other malignant tumors, as well as genetic predispositions.

The POLY-Check ^® fecal occult blood test allows you to check at home whether any problems with your digestive system are the result of intestinal inflammation. Early detection of intestinal inflammation, the symptom of which is bleeding invisible to the naked eye, helps to minimize the risk of developing colon cancer.
