Brief Answer:
stool examination is needed.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
It will be more helpful if you give more than about:-
1. Any history of piles (hemorrhoids) or of anal fissure.?
2. Do you have hard stools or pain while defecating?
3. Details of any medicines you are taking.
Beet root consumption cause dark colored stool but I would suggest that you should get your stool examined for occult blood and for routine / microscopic examination.
I would advise that you should drink lots of water daily.
Further can be planned according to the reports and your answers to the above queries.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
