The time period around ovulation -- when estrogen levels go up -- can really hit women in unexpected ways,including bloating.
Diuretics, which are sometimes called water pills, promote the production of urine and can reduce bloating and fluid retention. If you are on birth control pills, a change in pills may also be a way to reduce your bloating.
In any case, your gynecologist doesn't seem interested in helping you and you may want to consider finding another doctor who will take your concerns seriously.
