Patient's question:
What kind of diseases can be treated in general internal medicine? I ask, how is it that stomach pain and black stools are like this?Doctor's answer:
First, if you have stomach pain and your stool is black, this may suggest the possibility of gastrointestinal bleeding. However, the most common cause of gastrointestinal bleeding is likely the rupture of peptic ulcers. In this case, it is recommended to seek medical attention early for an endoscopic examination of the stomach. If necessary, various medications can be used for treatment, such as proton pump inhibitors and gastric mucosal protectants.
