ایچ پائلوری اسٹول ٹیسٹ پاخانے کے نمونے سے معدے کے اس جراثیم کا پتا لگاتا ہے جو تیزابیت، معدے کے درد اور السر کی ایک عام وجہ ہے۔ یہ ٹیسٹ موجودہ انفیکشن دکھاتا ہے، اس لیے خون کے ٹیسٹ سے زیادہ قابلِ اعتماد سمجھا جاتا ہے۔ خالی پیٹ آنے کی ضرورت نہیں۔ اگر آپ اینٹی بائیوٹک یا تیزابیت کی دوا لے رہے ہیں تو ٹیسٹ سے پہلے اپنے ڈاکٹر سے مشورہ کر لیں۔
