I've had these lumps in my breasts for about 3 years now. I don't usually feel pain, but maybe once or twice a month it does hurt a bit. I'm really worried if this could be breast cancer. I'm thinking of getting it checked out. Should I see a gynecologist first, or should I go straight for a cancer screening? What do you recommend?

Question

I'm curious about something that's been bothering me a bit lately. Before my period starts, I've noticed that my breasts often feel painful and seem to swell up quite a bit. I'm wondering if this is something I should be worried about or if it's a common experience. Could there be an underlying issue causing this?

Question

I'm a bit concerned because I've been experiencing some discomfort in my breasts lately. There's this off-and-on stinging pain in both breasts, and they feel kind of heavy and sore. What's weird is that when the stinging pain hits, I also get this painful pulse on the right side of my head. I know I usually get menstrual migraines, but I'm not near my cycle right now. Could these things be related, or is there something else going on?
