Doctors and nurses who examined an exotic dancer hours after she reported being raped by three Duke University lacrosse players found vaginal swelling but no other signs of physical trauma, according to court documents filed Thursday.
The report from a nurse, training to be a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner at Duke Medical Center, said she found swelling or redness. The only other signs of trauma were two minor cuts, defense lawyers said in sworn statements.
The statements represent the first details of what doctors and nurses found when they examined the dancer. The examination came hours after the woman told police she was dragged into a bathroom by three players at a team party in mid-March and was raped, sodomized and choked for 30 minutes.

What is vaginitis?
Vaginitis is described medically as an irritation and/or inflammation of the vagina. Vaginitis is a very common disease affecting millions of women each year. The three most common vaginal infections are bacterial vaginosis (BV), candida vaginitis (yeast infection) and trichomonas vaginitis (trich).
What are the signs or symptoms of vaginitis?
Vaginal infections can produce a variety of symptoms, such as abnormal or increased discharge, itching, fishy odor, irritation, painful urination or vaginal bleeding.
Hard to imagine she may have had this.

Abrams just did almost a full half-hour on the case. The replay on MSNBC is worth a look....
I have a hard time watching him. He always looks like he's mad or that something smells badly. Maybe someone in the studio has vaginitis. Maybe it's him.
I think we can. Although Tawana is now known as "Maryam Muhammad." Yup, Islam's swelling ranks have grown by one, and what an addition it is....
You're joking, right?
These boys are going to be forced to freeze their lives as accused rapists while the Crystal Magnum is coached for a 2 years or so, and the DA hopes it all dies down enough to where he can withdraw with some dignity. If the DA pulls the plug now, he know he be an international laughing stock.
