HI. Black stool mean that there is an active bleeding in the intestinal tract. You need to urgently go for Upper GI Endoscopy and colonoscopy examination. Blood tests for bleeding time, clotting time, platelets, prothrombin time and so on. Ultrasonography / CT scan to see if there is any cancer or a mass. Angiography to find out the source of bleeding. Once the cause of bleeding is found one can get properly treated.
