Monitor Your Bowel Health with The SELFCheck Home Bowel Cancer Test
Stay Proactive with Early Detection
Bowel cancer is the third most common cancer in the UK. This simple home test helps you monitor your bowel health privately and conveniently.
Why Test for Blood in Stool?
95% of colon cancers develop from benign polyps that go undetected for years. Early detection allows for polyp removal before they become malignant.
Who Should Use This Test?
Recommended for everyone, especially adults aged 40+.
How to Use the Test
- Collect three samples from different areas of a recent stool.
- Place the samples into the provided tube.
- Add two drops of the solution, shake well, and wait five minutes for the result.
What Does Blood in Stool Mean?
Blood in stool can result from polyps, bowel inflammation, haemorrhoids, or digestive changes—not necessarily cancer.
Interpreting Results
Medications, alcohol, and conditions can affect results. Read the instructions carefully. Negative results don’t rule out all bowel conditions.
Testing Frequency
Adults over 40 should test at least once a year for hidden blood in stool.
Positive Result?
Consult your doctor to determine the source of the blood. Do not make medical decisions without professional advice.
