What does dark stool indicate?

I have had dark stool already for 2 days. What does dark stool indicate? Should I see a doctor?

Hard to say because I don't know if the stool is dark brown or black. Black stool could be a sign of bleeding, but dark brown stool is not of concern. Black stool should be evaluated and you should make sure that you are not anemic.
