What Causes Blood In Stool After An Injury?
I had a bike accident last week, after the accident and after my visit to the hospital I was told to look out for bloody in my stool. My stool was pretty normal. A week later my stool has gone a black tar like colour. Doctors did not find any internal beelding first time round! What shall I do? My stomach is very tough to tough too.

Hello,
Blood in stools is generally checked if you are anemic and they must have given you oral iron supplements which is why you are pooping black.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
