Bowel Cancer Home Test Kit
Bowel cancer is the third most common cancer in the UK — about one in 20 people will develop it. Symptoms include a change in bowel habits.
A range of different types of tests are available, but all look for the presence of blood in a stool sample. Some involve adding a small amount of stool to a pre-filled test-tube, with results ready in minutes. At the top end of the market is a test where you collect three pea-sized stool samples on a special card over three days and send them off to a lab for analysis.
Bowel cancer is the third most common of cancers and one of the most treatable if detected early enough. People can be put off consulting their Healthcare Specialist on such a sensitive issue. The Wellbeing Personal Bowel Screening test is a home kit which enables you to find out if you are at risk.
The Wellbeing Personal Bowel Screening test detects the presence of blood in the faeces, which may be indicative of an underlying condition. It has been suggested that all people over 50 years of age should be screening themselves regularly for early signs of bowel disorders.
