Quick answer
When You Might Need a Stool Test
A stool test can help explain a range of digestive symptoms and support ongoing monitoring of gut health. You may want to arrange one if you are experiencing:
- Persistent diarrhoea or a change in bowel habits that has not settled
- Blood or mucus in your stool
- Unexplained weight loss alongside digestive symptoms
- Ongoing abdominal pain, particularly with other digestive symptoms
- A suspected gut infection, for example after travel or a bout of food poisoning
- A need to monitor a known digestive condition, where your doctor has recommended ongoing stool testing
If you are unsure which test is right for your symptoms, the Medilife team can help you choose the most appropriate one before you book.
Stool Tests Available at Home
Medilife offers a range of stool tests, each looking for something different. A member of the team can help you decide which is most relevant, or your doctor may have already recommended a specific test.
Stool Routine Analysis and Culture
Examine your stool sample under the microscope and in culture to check for bacteria, parasites, and signs of infection or inflammation in the digestive tract. This is often the starting point when investigating ongoing digestive symptoms.
Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) and Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT)
Checks for blood in the stool that is not visible to the naked eye. This can be an early indicator of gastrointestinal bleeding or a reason for further colorectal investigation, and is often used as part of routine digestive health screening.
Calprotectin Stool Test
A test that helps assess inflammation in the digestive tract, often used to support the monitoring of inflammatory bowel conditions. Medilife offers this as a dedicated home test with its own detailed information page, where you can read more about what it involves and book directly.
H. Pylori Stool Antigen Test
Checks for Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium linked to stomach inflammation and peptic ulcers. This test is often requested when someone has ongoing indigestion, stomach pain or symptoms suggestive of a stomach infection.
Ova and Parasite Test
Looks for parasites and their eggs in the stool, commonly requested after travel to areas where parasitic infections are more common, or where symptoms suggest a parasitic cause.
Pricing for Stool Tests at Home
Stool testing at home with Medilife starts from AED 350, with the exact price depending on which test you need. Routine stool analysis, stool culture, calprotectin, H. pylori antigen testing and ova and parasite testing are priced individually.

A Medilife nurse visits your home
At a time that suits you, a nurse comes to your home in Dubai to collect your sample and provide any instructions needed beforehand.
Your sample is analysed in the laboratory.
The sample is processed and examined, and a pathologist reviews the findings before your report is finalised.
You receive your result
Routine stool analysis results are typically available within 24 hours. Stool culture, which requires time for bacteria to grow, typically takes 2 to 3 days.
If your result needs further explanation or follow-up care, the Medilife team can help you arrange the appropriate next step.
