Answers:
If it were internal bleeding you might have abdominal discomfort, dizziness or tiredness, but sometimes black stools (melena) can be the only sign!. If you're not on iron, peptobismol, or eating spinach it might be due to dehydration!.

The only way to tell would be a per rectal examination by a doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
