Not related: Swollen lymph glands are most often the immune system's response to a foreign invader. PMS is related to natural increase in free radical activity and inflammation due to the body's normal hormone-mediated monthly cycle of menstruation associated with normal cell death (apoptosis). Both involve the immune system and inflammation but are not directly related.
