There is no special preparation for stool analysis. A clean container is used to collect feces, which can be purchased at a pharmacy or "Mamin Dim" polyclinic.

In a one-time study, the effectiveness of detecting parasite eggs in feces is about 30%. If parasites were not detected during the first analysis, this does not indicate their absence. If the first test result was negative, it is recommended to conduct the test two more times with an interval of 3-4 days. The material for research must be delivered to the laboratory within 2 hours after collection.
