Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should first get done mammography of bilateral breast.
And if any lump is present in either breast or axilla than biopsy of the lump is must to rule out breast cancer.
In my opinion you are having hormonal imbalance and due to this you are having breast pain during menses.
But you are having positive family history and query shadow before 4 years, so we need to rule out breast cancer first.
So get done mammography.
I find this answer helpful
