The elderly woman hesitated before getting up and following Manbao inside. Manbao lifted her clothes to examine her and saw that her abdomen was protruding. When she pressed it, the woman started to moan with pain.
Manbao looked at her complexion and asked, "Does it hurt a lot?"
"Yes, it's painful right here. Young doctor, what do you think is wrong with me?"
Manbao inquired, "How long has it been since you've had a bowel movement?"
The elderly woman: "Not long at all, I urinate a lot, needing to go about every half hour."
"I'm referring to the other kind of movement."
After thinking for a moment, the elderly woman shook her head, "I can't remember. We haven't eaten much, how could anything come out?"
Manbao frowned as she palpated the woman's firm abdomen, and seeing her cry out in pain again, she asked, "Apart from abdominal pain, do you feel discomfort anywhere else?"
