Please wait for the second chance when you pass dark coloured stools again. Please carry a specimen of the stools to a nearby hospital or a Pathology lab for examination.
Before that you should get a requisition slip from a Doctor.

I’d like to ask you a few questions to understand this better: When did you first notice the dark stool, how many times has it happened, and was it black and sticky or just dark brown, and did it have a foul smell, as this helps me know if there could be bleeding from the stomach. Did you have any vomiting of blood or coffee-coloured material, dizziness, giddiness, fainting, palpitations, or unusual weakness, which can suggest blood loss. Have you had any upper abdominal pain, burning sensation, acidity, difficulty swallowing, loss of appetite, or weight loss, which can point toward stomach problems. Are you taking any painkillers, aspirin, blood thinners, steroids, iron tablets, or any new medicines, as some drugs can cause bleeding or dark stools. Do you have any known liver disease, alcohol intake, or previous episodes of similar stools or endoscopy, as these increase the risk of serious bleeding.

Health Tips
Please watch your stools closely. If they become black, sticky, foul-smelling, or keep recurring, it may indicate bleeding from inside the stomach or intestine and needs urgent attention.
