Why do you suppose that women with a history of a ruptured appendix or previous abdominal surgery are at increased risk of ectopic pregnancy?
What will be an ideal response?
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.
