10 Bleeding Ulcer Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #10: Black Stools
It may not sound nice, but it is actually a good idea to inspect your stools after defecating. This is because, even at a glance, they can tell us a great deal about our health. Healthy stools should really be a shade of brown and if they are not, it could be that you are quite ill.
A bleeding ulcer will cause blood to be present in your stools. This will cause them to take on a black appearance. In some cases, it can also cause your stools to take on a tar-like color and consistency. If your stools do appear unusual in any way then you should make an appointment to see your doctor.
