What Causes Black Blood?
My current issue is black blood, it has been going on for 5 days I just had finished my period 2 days prior. So I ve had a period for almost 2 weeks on birth control I missed 2 days but in the 5 years I ve been on it I ve missed days and this never happened. Possibly in relation about 3 weeks ago I noticed bald spots I got crotisone shots about a week ago in both areas. I ve also been extremely tired and stressed

Hello,
Black stool could be due to:
- foods you've consumed recently
- iron multivitamins used
- hemorrhoids
If none, then, occult blood stool testing is highly recommended to rule out more serious gastrointestinal issues. Discuss this further with your caring doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
All the best.
