I'm feeling really nervous and am physically weak lately, along with dizziness, shortness of breath, and I've noticed I need to urinate a lot more, though there's no leakage or infection. I'm also experiencing pain in my lower pelvic area and back. I used to masturbate by rubbing my clitoris until about 7 years ago. Could that be related to what I'm feeling now? How can I address all these issues? Would really appreciate some advice.

I've been diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy at 6 weeks and my doctor prescribed a 100mg Methotrexate injection, which I took today around 4pm. Since then, I've had constant but bearable pain is this normal? I really want to avoid surgery. Can I take any painkillers for this? Would appreciate your advice.

It usually results in faster recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring.
