JAKARTA - The habit of world leaders taking private toilets or storing their body waste while traveling abroad may sound strange, even ridiculous. But behind that there are serious reasons related to medical and political security

Human waste is not just metabolic remnants. According to experts, feces and urine can contain a lot of sensitive information. From there, it can be seen that a person's health condition, diet, use of drugs, to chronic diseases are suffered.

"The health of the highest leader is directly related to regime stability. There is a special protocol to ensure there is no trace, as well as a hair or biological material left behind," South Korean Intelligence Officer told Nikkei Asia, quoted from the Financial Express page.

That's why Kim Jong Un always carries private toilets when traveling. In addition, his staff are often seen cleaning up Kim's chairs, glasses, or other surfaces before leaving the location.

Russian President Vladimir Putin also implemented a similar protocol. The Paris Match report said Putin had a special team tasked with collecting, sealing, and bringing his body waste back to Russia in a special suitcase.

This is done so that no foreign party can take advantage of biological samples to analyze their health condition. For the country's leaders, the leaking of this kind of medical information can be used by political opponents or other countries for intelligence purposes.

This phenomenon is nothing new. In 1949, Joseph Stalin ordered Mao Zedong's waste collection to analyze his health. In 1999, Israeli and Jordanian intelligence were also suspected of trying to sample from Syrian President Hafez al-Assad while attending King Hussein's funeral.

Interestingly, this habit is not limited to authoritarian countries. US President George W. Bush in 2006 was also said to have brought portable toilets during a visit to Vienna, Austria. The goal is that no body waste is left behind.

Health Conditions That Can Be Revealed From Feses

Reporting from the Cleveland Clinic page, the phase test (Stool test) is one of the diagnostic tools used by medical personnel to find out the cause of problems in the stomach or digestion.

This examination can detect the presence of bacteria, viruses, or other germs in the impurity that can cause pain. In addition, medical tests also help doctors in diagnosing various digestive tract diseases to colon cancer.

Care tests are carried out to look for signs of germs (bacterials, viruses, or parasites) that can cause disease. In addition, this test can also detect other things, such as hidden blood in glass that shows health problems.

Doctors usually use urine tests to check various digestive tract disorders (gastroynthestines), ranging from infection to cancer.

Testage is usually recommended if a person experiences symptoms such as:

- Bloody fingerprints.

- There is mucus on mucus.

- Diarrhea for more than three days.

- stomach pain or cramps.

- Nausea or vomiting that lasts a few days.

- Fever.

Things You Can Know From The Tinja Test

Tests can help detect various health conditions, including:

- Fisura ani (small rips in the anus).

- Anemia (red blood cell deficiency).

- Kolitis (inflamed or irritated large intestines).

- Large intestine polyp.

- Colorectal cancer (large intestine cancer).

- Diverticularosis (a small bag that stands out on the intestinal wall).

- pancreatic disorders (difficults in breaking food in the intestines).

- Cerna drains bleeding.

- Ambeien (swelling of blood vessels in the anus).

- Infections (bacterials, viruses, or parasites).

- Inflammatory disease (IBD).

- Steatorea (oil impurity due to excess fat).

- Tukak hull.

Types Of Tinja Tests

There are several types of urine tests that doctors usually choose according to patient symptoms, including:

- Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT)

This test looks for hidden blood in feces. If the result is positive, it means that there is bleeding in the digestive tract.

- FIT-DNA Test

Similar to FOBT, but in addition to detecting blood, this test is also looking for DNA changes that can indicate precancer or cancer conditions.

- Infection test

This test is carried out using several methods, such as growing germs from gassy samples, seeing them under a microscope, or detecting the DNA of these germs.
