About Black Stools in Maharashtra

Black, tarry stools, known medically as melena, typically indicate bleeding in the upper digestive tract, such as the stomach or esophagus, where blood is altered by digestive processes as it passes through the intestines. The stool often has a distinctive sticky texture and strong odor. This is different from stools that appear dark due to certain foods, supplements, or iron tablets.
