Dark stool

2020-04-10 04:21:30
Hi I have noticed dark stool today also suffering from constipation. I am taking ayurvedic medicine lavangadi vati, medohar vati and Arjun chaal kuwath. It happed before a year also so I visited doctor he tested and said that it is piles. And gave some allopathy medication for constipation and fir piles. Just worried why today noticed dark stool is it a serious problem.
