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?

I'm really worried about my 30-year-old daughter. She's having bad cramps, and we usually use BUSCOPAN tablets for relief. But she's currently on medication for high blood pressure and is also 3 months pregnant. Is it safe for her to keep using BUSCOPAN? If so, how often can she take it? I'm concerned about any risks for her and the baby.

Please consult her gynaecologist
