Black stools may suggest bleeding in the stomach, possibly due to acidity or ulcers. If reports show anemia or infection, please see a gastroenterologist. To understand the cause of black stools and rule out any serious concerns, please do a stool test for occult blood and check your hemoglobin levels.

Dr. Hema Suggests...

Take a STOOL OCCULT BLOOD Test or Take a HB (Haemoglobin) Test Test
