Giardia is a microscopic parasite that causes intestinal infection called giardiasis. This test helps diagnose giardia infection which can cause persistent diarrhea, stomach cramps, and digestive problems.","open_by_default":true},{"question":"Why is the Giardia Antigen Test important?","answer":"This test is crucial for diagnosing giardiasis, which can cause chronic digestive problems if left untreated. Early detection helps your doctor provide appropriate treatment to clear the infection. Untreated giardia infection can lead to malabsorption, weight loss, and persistent stomach issues that significantly affect your quality of life.","open_by_default":false},{"question":"Who should get the Giardia Antigen Test?","answer":"You should get this test if you have persistent diarrhea, stomach cramps, bloating, or fatigue lasting more than a few days. It's especially recommended for travelers returning from areas with poor sanitation, people who drink untreated water, and anyone with unexplained digestive symptoms that don't improve with basic treatment.","open_by_default":false},{"question":"What do Positive and Negative results mean?","answer":"A Negative result means no Giardia parasites were detected in your stool sample, suggesting your symptoms have a different cause. A Positive result confirms Giardia infection and your doctor will prescribe appropriate antiparasitic medication. Sometimes repeat testing may be needed as parasite shedding can be intermittent.","open_by_default":false},{"question":"Should I repeat the Giardia Antigen Test?","answer":"Your doctor may recommend repeating the test if your first result is negative but symptoms persist, as Giardia parasites aren't always shed consistently in stool. Some people may need 2-3 tests on different days for accurate diagnosis. After treatment, a follow-up test may be done to confirm the infection has cleared completely.","open_by_default":false},{"question":"Do I need to fast before the Giardia Antigen Test?","answer":"No. Fasting is not required for the Giardia Antigen Test. You can give your sample at any time of day at our Pune lab or during home collection.","open_by_default":false},{"question":"How much does the Giardia Antigen Test cost in Pune?","answer":"The Giardia Antigen Test at Pathofast Lab in Pune costs Rs.1600. This price includes free home sample collection anywhere in Pune and a doctor-verified report delivered within 4 days by WhatsApp and email. You can pay online while booking, on home visit (cash, UPI, or card), or at the reception desk if you walk in to our Camp lab.","open_by_default":false},{"question":"How soon will I get the Giardia Antigen Test report?","answer":"Giardia Antigen Test reports are ready in 4 days and are delivered by WhatsApp and email. Every report is verified by a qualified doctor at our Pune lab before being shared with you.","open_by_default":false}]}}
