What Does Black or Maroon Stool Mean? Don’t Ignore the Signs! | Dr. K. S. Somasekhar Rao

Have you noticed your stool appearing black or maroon in color? While it might seem minor, it can actually be a warning sign of bleeding in your gastrointestinal (GI) tract, anywhere from the esophagus, stomach, or intestines. According to Dr. K. S. Somasekhar Rao, Senior Consultant Gastroenterologist, Hepatologist & Advanced Therapeutic Endoscopist at Yashoda Hospitals, Hitec City, such stool changes should never be ignored. Early diagnosis through endoscopy or colonoscopy can help detect the source and prevent complications.
