The blood may be visible in the stool, making it appear black or tarry (melena) or it may not be visible but detected through laboratory testing (occult blood). Bleeding in the digestive tract can be caused by conditions like ulcers, hemorrhoids, inflammatory bowel disease, polyps, or colorectal cancer. Analyzing stool samples for blood helps healthcare professionals identify potential gastrointestinal bleeding sources and guide further diagnostic investigations or treatment plans. Regular monitoring of "Blood - Stool" parameter is essential for evaluating gastrointestinal health and detecting potential conditions at an early stage.
