I'm Ajay Sharma from Gurgaon. For the last 15 days, I've been noticing black stools, but there's no abdominal pain. I'm a bit concerned about it. Could you please share what might be going on?

Black stool can be caused by various factors, including bleeding in the upper GI tract, iron supplements, or certain foods; given your symptom of black stool for 15 days without abdominal pain, it's essential to consult a gastroenterologist to rule out underlying conditions like ulcers, gastritis, or gastrointestinal bleeding;

Question

I'm dealing with some pretty uncomfortable abdominal pain and cramps that sometimes spread to my back. I just bounced back from a stomach infection, but now it feels like this pain is sticking around. I've heard of normaxin tablets for this kind of issue. Do you think it's a good option for me, or should I go a different route? Its really making things tough for me.
