What does occult blood 2+ mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It indicates: The finding of blood in your stool which may or may not indicate a GI problem. A thorough history and look at other exams and a GI workup is indicated. This may be a false positive result but best to get a proper evaluation rather than ignore a possible early warning sign of a more serious problem.
