If the blood in your feces was black, it is most likely that the bleeding originates from the esophagus, stomach, or duodenum. If the blood is red, then the bleeding probably originates from then intestines, including the anus. A gastroscopy and colonoscopy can be performed to identify the exact origin of the blood.
