A member asked:
I am having severe left lower abdominal pain black stool and vomiting should i go to er or wait and c my regular family dr when they reopen?

Er recommended: The combination of severe abdominal pain and vomiting should be evaluated in the hospital emergency room. Black stool, unless due to taking peptobismol type medications, usually means intestinal bleeding in the upper intestinal or gastric area. Lower left abdominal pain may reflect diverticulitis which shouldn't cause black stools. Go to the er for evaluation and treatment.

Go to ER: You could be bleeding inside. Melena refers to black tarry feces associated with GI hemorrhage.
