Ova and Parasites Examination

This test examines a stool sample to detect parasites and their eggs (ova) within the digestive tract. It helps determine if persistent symptoms like diarrhea, abdominal pain, and nausea are caused by a parasitic infection. This analysis aids in distinguishing parasitic causes from other digestive issues, allowing for targeted treatment. However, because parasites are not always released in every bowel movement, a single negative result does not completely rule out an infection.
