What does black stools mean have had it for 1day?

The color of your stool varies for a number of reasons. Some foods (such as black licorice) have a strong black color that will persist even into the stool. Your digestion does not always work in exactly the same way, either, depending upon the level of activity of your intestinal bacteria, for example. A black stool can also indicate some degree of bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract, since the blood turns black (or very dark brown) as it clots. So there is a possibility of an ulcer or other such problem. However, you would probably be experiencing pain, as well as seeing a black stool, if you had an ulcer. I would not jump to any conclusions after a single day of black stool.

Does bleeding from the rectum mean you have sexual symptoms?

No, there is no reason to suspect an STD based on blood in the feces. Rather, than an STD one would suspect a bowel disorder or hemorrhoids. The color of the blood in your stool indicates from where in the bowl the problem is. Black tarry blood suggests digestion and therefore the blood is coming from very high up along the intestinal tract (ulcer). Bright red blood suggests a bleed close to the rectum (hemorrhoids, fissure or simply a scrape from a hard stool). If the bleeding continues to the next bowel movement, seek advice from a medical professional.


What does blood in a mans stools mean?

Depends if it is a fresh blood or a digested one and its severity. Fresh ones are usally due to hemorrhoids but some do happen because of the cancers close to the anus. Anything higher in the intestine will look black, due to its digestion. A severe ulcer bleeding might turn the whole stool black. Anytime there's a blood in stool, that's require medical examination. The sooner it is, the easier to solve any potential problems early on.
