If there is no other discomfort, observe for a few days, and if this phenomenon persists, you should go to the hospital for fecal occult blood test.

There is a popular saying among the people:

Eat alone and pull black, do unsightly things?

Dongzhimen Hospital, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine-Department of Gastroenterology-Nie Lihong-Deputy Chief Physician-What is the cause of black stool?

If you have not recently eaten animal blood foods and your stool is black (the kind of bright black), be aware of the possibility of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Be sure to go to the hospital for a check-up, and do a occult blood test to see if there is gastrointestinal bleeding.

There are two possibilities for the stool to become dark. The first is upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The second possibility is that you have eaten foods and medicines that may cause the color of the feces to darken, such as animal blood and certain iron preparations.

Go to the hospital for a check-up, or eat too much black stuff, or have gastrointestinal bleeding.

We have to excrete such as pooping and peeing every day, and Qinghong generally means that people are unhealthy if they don't excrete every day. We don't know if we notice it when we excrete, sometimes the stool that comes out is black. Here's why this is the case.

1.First: melanism is a manifestation of upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

When there is bleeding from the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, upper jejunum, pancreas and biliary tract, the iron of hemoglobin in red blood cells combines with sulfide to form iron sulfide under the action of intestinal bacteria, and the stool is black because of the chemical reaction.

2.Second: Bleeding from the respiratory tract, such as bleeding from the nasopharynx that is swallowed into the digestive tract, can also cause melena.

Lower gastrointestinal bleeding is usually dark red stool or fresh bloody stool, but when the amount of bleeding is small and the blood stays in the intestine for a long time, the hemoglobin iron will turn into black iron sulfide, and black stool will be discharged.

3.Third: After eating pig blood, sheep blood or chicken, goose, duck blood, or a large amount of beef and pig liver, the iron in animal blood can also form black iron sulfide in the human intestines, making the color of the stool black.

There is generally nothing wrong with this condition, as long as you pay attention to your diet in the future.

Precautions. There are many reasons for black stools, and the key is to adjust and control your daily diet to make yourself eat healthy and live a brilliant life.

Mela, also known as tarry stool, is generally caused by bleeding from the upper and lower gastrointestinal tracts; Gastric cancer, peptic ulcer, erosive gastritis and the elderly with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases can also cause upper gastrointestinal bleeding if they take aspirin; Therefore, if black stools appear, you must seek medical attention in time.

In this case, it is necessary to consider the presence of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, and it is recommended to do a routine stool examination to confirm the diagnosis.

It should be a good thing that drinking intestinal tea may send out the dirt in the body.
