A member asked:
My dad had colonoscopy w/ polyps removed 2 days ago.today stool was black, called clinic that did it & they were not very concerned, should he see dr?

No: Especially if no profuse bleeding. Small amount of rectal bleed is expected after a polyp excisional biopsy. If stool continues to remain black or rectal bleeding starts Call the doctor
