Answered by Master, Doctor Hoang Duc Nam - Department of General Surgery, Vinmec Nha Trang International General Hospital.
Hello,
With the question “Is it okay to have black blood after laparoscopic appendectomy? , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Black blood in the stool may be related to high gastrointestinal bleeding (stomach ulcer bleeding due to taking NSAIDS) or stress.. ; It is also possible to bleed from the appendix apex - into the lumen of the intestine - i.e. the colon and pass stools with black blood. You should note the problem of eating boiled blood or blood sugar can also make black stools,... If this problem does not improve, you need to go to the endoscopic examination of the stomach - colon to check.
If you still have questions about passing black blood after laparoscopic appendectomy, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
