Answer to Question 1

Abdominal surgery commonly leads to scar tissue and adhesions. Adhesions may distort the normal pelvic anatomy, affecting the position and function of the fallopian tubes. These changes can predispose a patient to an ectopic pregnancy.

Answer to Question 2

KOH is the chemical designation for potassium (K) hydroxide (OH). The test is performed by putting a drop of potassium hydroxide on a slide with vaginal secretions. The KOH reacts with trichomonas to produce a fishy odor.
