Question
An elderly person has not eaten for a week and can only rely on intravenous drips to maintain nutrition. However, recently, they have started to experience large amounts of black stools. What could be the cause?
Answer
Hello, black stools may be a symptom of gastrointestinal bleeding. It is recommended to undergo relevant tests to determine the cause. If diagnosed with gastrointestinal bleeding, you can first use blood coagulants for hemostasis, and combine antitumor traditional Chinese medicine to inhibit tumor growth, enhance immunity, and control the progression of the disease.
