Blood bad in stool: Any amount of bleeding in stool, be it bright red, maroon or black demands prompt and thorough evaluation. Many of the causes will not just go away by themselves and may be life threatening and or life shortening. Go for immediate evaluation.

See your doctor asap: as blood in the stool is never normal Black blood usually means it is coming from the stomach and has changed color due stomach acid and enzymes affecting the blood. If a lot of blood or black or you are dizzy or weak go to ER.
