How does one collect a stool sample for the doctor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Carefully: Your doctor should provide you with special containers for stool samples, and also give instructions for collecting these. But if not, I am referencing a pdf of instructions for kids' stool specimens: http://www.Childrensmn.Org/manuals/pfs/testproc/018799.Pdf also for adults: http://www.Carteretgeneral.Com/patient_ed/stool_collection.Shtml.
