A Stool Examination: Occult Blood test checks for hidden (occult) blood in your stool. Although you can't see blood in the stool, a small amount can be detected with this test. The presence of occult blood can indicate bleeding in the digestive tract, which might be caused by ulcers, polyps, inflammatory bowel disease, or colon cancer. Regular screening with this test is crucial for early detection of colorectal cancer.
