Could Black Stools With Blood Be Due To Dental Surgery?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here..



my 60 year old husband had dental surgery 2 weeks ago...he had a tooth pulled and an implant. He was given a high dosage of IBEPROFEN which he discontinued a week after surgery. Three days ago he started have black stools with blood present. Could this be the result of the dental surgery? He is going to the doctor today.

Hello,

A dental surgery will not give black stools after 2 weeks; it is the intestine bleed from possible ulcer due to various reasons.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
