Intestinal Worms Test
GetTested’s Intestinal Worms Test offers a targeted approach to identifying common intestinal worms. This comprehensive test, conducted through a simple stool sample analyzed in our ISO-certified lab, is designed for anyone experiencing digestive discomfort, unexplained weight loss, or other symptoms indicative of parasitic infections.
Given that such symptoms can also be caused by other conditions, we recommend considering our Parasite Test (available as both lab test and rapid test), Helicobacter pylori Test (available as both lab test and rapid test), or SIBO Test to ensure a thorough evaluation of potential digestive health issues.

Overview of the Intestinal Worms Test
GetTested's Intestinal Worms Test provides a comprehensive analysis to detect the presence of intestinal worms, for those experiencing symptoms of infestations or for anyone concerned about potential exposure. Conducted through a simple stool sample, this test is processed at an ISO-certified and accredited laboratory, ensuring high standards of accuracy and reliability.
Symptoms and Signs of Worm Infections
Individuals with worm infections might experience a range of symptoms, including abdominal pain, diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss, and in some cases, visible worms in stools. These symptoms can disrupt daily life and, if left untreated, may lead to more severe health issues.
Who Should Take the Test?
The Intestinal Worms Test is suited for:
- Anyone experiencing symptoms of worm infestations.
- People who have traveled to areas where intestinal worms are common.
- Families with young children, as kids are more susceptible to picking up worms.
- Individuals who want to ensure their digestive health is in optimal condition.
Intestinal Worms in the UK
While intestinal worms are less common in the UK than in tropical and subtropical regions, cases still occur, particularly in individuals who have traveled abroad. Understanding the signs and taking proactive measures through testing can help prevent the spread and complications associated with worm infections.
Choosing Between a Parasite Test and an Intestinal Worms Test
GetTested offers both a Parasite Test, (6 different parasites) as well as a rapid Parasite test (3 different parasites). Choosing between parasite or intestinal worm test largely depends on your specific health concerns and symptoms.
If you specifically suspect a worm infection, then the Intestinal Worms Test is the way to go. This is especially relevant if you're experiencing symptoms like abdominal discomfort or have seen visible signs of worms.
On the other hand, if your symptoms are broader or you've recently visited areas known for parasite risks, the Parasite Test could offer a more comprehensive overview. Moreover, this test might be the better choice for a broader screening to pinpoint the cause of general digestive disturbances.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
