What Are the Symptoms of Colon Polyps

Stool Color Change

People with colon polyps might notice some changes in the color of their stools. Minor bleeding in the rectum would leave red stripes in their stools. In more serious cases, the stool would appear dark or even black. However, keep in mind that many factors can change your color’s stools, such as supplements, medications, and foods. Therefore, look for other symptoms and consult your doctor to ensure a more precise diagnosis. [3]
