6. Whipworm Infection Diagnosis

To diagnose a whipworm infection, your doctor will send the patient's stool sample to the lab. The technicians will use a microscope to look for whipworm parasites and eggs in the stool. The test should not cause any discomfort and may be done at home or at the doctor's clinic.
