The SELFCHECK Bowel Health Test is a user-friendly screening test that can help detect the early signs of bowel cancer. This test is conducted using the faecal immunochemical test (FIT) method, which involves collecting a small poo sample to detect hidden blood using antibodies that target haemoglobin. The test delivers a clear visual result in less than 10 minutes, and there's no need to make changes to your diet or fasting prior to the test.
It's important to note that while the SELFCHECK Bowel Health Test has a cut-off designed for screening people without symptoms, blood traces in poo could also result from other factors apart from colon polyps or bowel cancer. If you experience bowel cancer symptoms or see blood in your poo, consult your doctor immediately.
The SELFCHECK Bowel Health Test uses the same FIT detection method employed in NHS bowel cancer screening programmes, which is highly sensitive and reliable. However, bowel cancer polyps may bleed intermittently, making it possible to miss a diagnosis with a single test. Conducting multiple tests can improve the chances of detecting the early stages of bowel/colon cancer.
