When to Follow Up
-
The presence of blood in the stool can be caused by various conditions—not just cancer. If your test result is positive, it's important to consult your GP or a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
-
If your result is negative but symptoms continue (such as changes in bowel habits, unexplained weight loss, or abdominal discomfort), we recommend you speak with your doctor.
