You got "rupture" before?

A few students who are going to college came for medical check-ups today. Most of the check-up forms are of standard format but one really caught my special attention. It's a session to be filled up by patient, and one of the question is:

"Have you ever sufferred rupture before?"

What kind of weird question is this?? The question itself sounds scary enough, plus never specified rupture of what? I can't figure out what kinda rupture can be happening in a patient's body who's apparently healthy and walking around. Hmm..unless it means rupture of a pimple? You never know.

Then under the physical examination part, look at the questionnaire:
Please tick "yes" or "no":

Cardiovascular - Normal
Respiratory - Normal
Abdomen:
1. Any enlarged liver? No
2. Any enlarged spleen? No
3. Any rupture?

What? Again? Rupture of WHAT??

I'm confused. If anyone has any idea about what rupture we should look for during a routine medical check up, pls kindly enlighten me. =)

See the picture
