Dark or Tarry Stools Doctors in Malta
Dark or tarry stools (melaena) are a sign of bleeding in the upper gastrointestinal tract, such as from a peptic ulcer, oesophageal varices, or gastric cancer, and require urgent evaluation. Gastroenterologists perform urgent upper endoscopy to identify the source of bleeding and provide endoscopic treatment when necessary, while general surgeons manage surgical emergencies. Dark stools should always be investigated promptly as they can indicate significant blood loss.
