Stool Pus Cells

Why test for Stool PUC cells at Symbion VIP Diagnostics Ahmedabad ?

There are two major types of digestive conditions that can result in pus cells being present in stools. One is irritable bowel syndrome and the other is inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which encompasses the two conditions known as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. IBS is one of the most common gastrointestinal complaints in adults and adolescents, and it is characterized by chronic abdominal pain, gas, cramping and either severe constipation or diarrhea. Crohn's disease is an autoimmune disorder that leads to chronic inflammation in the intestines and is indicated by abdominal pain, severe tiredness, fever and weight loss. In the case of ulcerative colitis, people experience severe diarrhea, blood in stool, fever and joint pain. Both IBS and IBD can be managed via diet and medical management.

When pus builds up in the body, abscesses can from that cause intestinal blockages and make it difficult for waste to pass. Abscesses need to be treated promptly because they can lead to dangerous amounts of bacteria and can cause significant issues if they burst. If an intestinal blockage exists, or chronic constipation occurs, a person may experience an anal fissure. This is a tear in the skin around the rectal opening that results in bleeding and pus in the stool. Most fissures can be treated at home, but some may require minor surgery. If pus in stool is accompanied by blood, a fever or severe abdominal pain, medical treatment should be sought as soon as possible.
