Re-evaluate: Right before menses a women's immune system is weaker and constipation can interfere with complete bladder emptying and less lubrication can make the tissues more easily irritated causing swelling that prevents complete bladder emptying and infection. High doses of cranberry extract during this time is a help. Address the other issues as well.
