What Causes Black Stool?
?? Melena; if so, you will require medical attention at the earliest sir
Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.
Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. A blackish or tarry colour stool is called melena and is as a result of an upper GI bleed in majority of cases. But it can also occur if you are on iron supplements, or any other supplements that have a high iron content.
But if you are not on any such supplements or increased iron intake, then you need to report to a gastroenterologist at the earliest for an upper GI (gastrointestinal) endoscopy to find the source of the bleed and treat it.
I hope you find my response helpful and informative. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.
Best wishes.
