The Pill, while a godsend for women in many ways, can cause bloating. If this occurs, get your ob gyn to switch you to a brand with progestin, which can act as a diuretic, or try one of these remedies: take vitamin B6, drink more water to flush out your system, limit your caffeine intake, or eat more fiber.

If you suffer bloating as a result of PMS or taking the Pill, try these handy ob gyn remedies: eat lots of fruit (especially grapefruit) and plenty of vegetables. Both offer fiber, which can help move your digestion along faster. You should also avoid salty foods, since too much salt can make you retain water.

The best tampons, according to ob gyn experts, are the low-absorbency kind. A tampon that's too large can keep the bladder from emptying completely, and that's one of the primary causes of urinary tract infections, since the risk of UTIs increases the longer urine is held in the bladder.
