Bowel health care test
Colon
cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer and early detection is vital.
The sooner it is detected, the greater the chances of successful treatment. If
it is treated at an early stage the survival rate exceeds 90%. 95% of colon cancers develop from polyps, which are benign
tumours growing inside the colon. Typically, they do not cause any pain and
often remain undetected for many years before becoming malignant. At this
stage, the hidden early stages of colon cancer can be detected by a simple test
for blood in the stool. The test enables you to increase your chances of early
detection and thereby reduce your risk considerably.
Above the age of 40, if not sooner, everyone should perform
an annual test for blood in the stool. It may be better to start testing before
the age of 40 if, for example, there is a history of colon cancer or polyps in
your family. The test serves to detect blood in the stool that is not yet
visible. Colon
polyps bleed occasionally and colon cancer will reveal blood at a very early
stage. If, when performing this test you detect blood in your stool sample, you
should see your doctor who will investigate the possible reasons. What makes
this test unique is that you do not have to restrict your eating habits in any
way in order to perform the test and it
can be conducted simply and easily at any time of the day – giving you a result
in minutes. How do I perform the test?A tiny sample of your stool
(faeces) is conveniently taken with an applicator and inserted into a tube pre-filled with a developer
solution. A drop of this mixture is then placed on the test strip for
evaluation.
What does the result tell me?If the test shows a
positive result (two lines in the window), you can assume that there is blood in
your stool and you should see your doctor. Exclusive
