Stool Testing

Meaning

Stool Testing is a clinical diagnostic procedure involving the laboratory analysis of a fecal sample to assess the composition of the gut microbiome, the efficiency of digestive function, and the presence of inflammatory markers, pathogens, or parasites. In the hormonal health space, this test is crucial for evaluating the estrobolome, the collection of gut bacteria that metabolizes and recycles estrogens, thereby influencing circulating hormone levels and overall endocrine balance.
