I've been having black stool before and during my periods for about the last five months. Is this normal, or could it be a sign of some internal issues? I'm a bit worried and would love some guidance.

Black stool before and during periods is not typical and may indicate gastrointestinal bleeding or issues like endometriosis affecting the bowel. I recommend consulting a doctor for evaluation, including stool tests or a scan, to rule out any underlying concerns.
