There are several reasons why both men and women may have blood traces in their faeces, including haemorrhoids, polyps, and, in rare cases, colon cancer.
If medical advice and intervention begin as soon as feasible, all of these problems can be treated more effectively and efficiently. Bowel cancer is still the third leading cause of cancer in both men and women, and this is unlikely to alter given the UK's ageing population.
Other medical issues, such as prostate disorders, are not easily shared and might be humiliating or awkward. As a result, a simple and sanitary home screening test that detects abnormal blood in faeces can give men and women with assistance and the incentive they need to seek medical care.
The advantage of performing a SELFCHECK Bowel Health home test in private ensures confidentiality while also providing the necessary incentive to take further steps in terms of personal health management and earlier consultation with a healthcare professional, which will facilitate earlier medical intervention should further action be required.
The SELFCHECK Bowel Health Test is simple to use and employs the faecal immunochemical principle (FIT), needing only a little sample of faeces and providing an easy-to-read visual result in less than 10 minutes. Because the test employs the FIT detection method, no diet or fasting is required prior to the test.
The cut-off for a positive SELFCHECK Bowel Health Test result is greater than 30g Hb/g faeces. This test is more sensitive than the majority of NHS FIT screening tests (80 to 150g/g). The higher the sensitivity of a test, the greater the possibility of a false positive result. A cut-off of 10g Hb/g faeces (or lower) is only used for patients with symptoms in a primary or secondary care environment, and should not be used for screening.
