- Focus expressions in Foodo (2006)
- Focus expressions in Yom (2005)
- Focus in Gur and Kwa (2006)
- The project investigates focus phenomena in the two genetically relatedWest African Gur and Kwa language groups of the Niger-Congo phylum. Most of its members are tone languages, they are similar with respect to word order typology (all are SVO languages), but of divergent morphological type (agglutinating Gur versus isolating Kwa).

- This talk presents a study on information structure in the under-documented Gur language Baatonum (Bénin and Nigeria, language code bba).
- What is it about? The topic in some Ghanaian Gur grammars (2008)
- This talk deals with the pragmatic notion topic and its encoding in Buli and some related Ghanaian Gur languages and reveals that it is responsible for several intricate phenomena in the grammar of these languages.
- To be or not to be? About the copula system in Buli (Gur) (2008)
- This talk concerns the copula system in Buli, a Ghanaian language which has also been attested in Bahia (Rodrigues 1935, Zwernemann 1968). Special focus will be put on the categorization of two copula-reminiscent elements for which I will propose a discoursepragmatic analysis.
- Sentence-medial adverbials in Buli (Gur, Northern Ghana) (2006)
- Research on adverbials in sentence-medial position in the North- Ghanaian Gur language Buli suggests that the language offers two divergent slots for adverbials between subject and verb. Special attention is paid to the group of sentence-medial deictic temporal adverbials. While they have the potential to develop into tense markers, this process seems to depend on special information structural conditions.

Mac DeMarco
When the then 21-year old Mac DeMarco released his debut Rock and Roll Night Club 12″ just a short while ago in the Spring of 2012, it was accompanied by a barrage of bizarrely funny promo videos, wildly unhinged live performances and a not-so-subtle disparate range of promo photos. The glam facade was purely that, an image that was manufactured for fun to confuse the stiff and compartmentalizing world of indie music journalists. But it wasn't all a jest, as that EP covered a whole range of music styles that were latent in the ex-Makeout Videotape frontman's already impressive slough of cassette-only releases. The sincere and warm Mac who sang "Only You" was the same lipstick-wearing sleazoid that crooned "Baby's Wearing Blue Jeans" and that suited him and his listeners just fine.
Now, all of six months later, Mac is back with his first proper full length, Mac DeMarco 2. As opposed to RNRNC, "2″ is a concerted effort to produce a cohesive work that showcases Mac's natural ability as a songwriter, singer and producer. With a new arsenal of recording gear, the fidelity has substantially improved without compromising the immediacy and organic quality of his prior releases under any monicker. The results are immediately rewarding, from the warm "Cooking Up Something Good" to the heartfelt "My Kind of Woman." It's obvious Mac is presenting himself musically in the most sincere way possible, no matter what happens in his wild videos or live shows. "Freaking out the Neighborhood," Mac's apologetic ode to his loved ones about such public behavior, shows that Mac DeMarco is still with us, coming along for the ride, getting everyone else in trouble. Even so, the maturation process of Mac DeMarco, recording artist, is in full swing. He did, after all, turn 22 this April.

Israel Aerospace Industries plans to test its improved Arrow-3 anti-ballistic missile for the first time in late 2008. This will be followed in 2009 by the first launch of the Barak-8 surface-to-air missile, which is being developed jointly with India.
But the Israel Defence Force has decided not to deploy the LORA long-range artillery missile, which IAI had hoped to sell to India. Sources say the Israeli air force was instrumental in the decision not to buy the system, which could have substituted for air power because of its long range.
An improved version of the operational Arrow-2 system which is Israel's main shield against ballistic missiles, the Arrow-3 will be able to intercept longer-range ballistic missiles with unconventional warheads and higher altitude. Improvements are being made to the Green Pine radar, missile sensors and fragmentation warhead.
While Arrow's capability is being increased, sources say the David's Sling system being developed by Israel's Rafael and Raytheon to intercept short-range rockets will be capable of intercepting "low-end" ballistic missiles such as the Scud B and C.
David's Sling will launch the Stunner hit-to-kill interceptor, which is designed for use against rockets launched from ranges up to 400km (250 miles). But a Rafael source says the system's radar will give it a capability against basic ballistic missiles. Rafael, meanwhile, is developing the Iron Dome system to intercept short-range and home-made rockets.

Zipingo, the small business review site launched by Intuit in late 2005, shut down yesterday. When it launched, Zipingo competed with a slew of other startups that were targeting local business reviews. Of the three that we mentioned – Yelp, Judy's Book and Insider Pages – only one, Yelp, remains in it's original form. Judy's Book changed its model to focus on… Read More

Applications can retrieve business review and rating information for a particular geographic region/location, display reviews and pictures for a business or businesses, pull up business information based on a phone… Read More
Yelp Is Way Cooler Than I Thought
Yelp, a user generated review site that continues to do very well with traffic growth, was still a bit boring in my opinion. Reviews of the local restaurants and flower shops are useful for some people, but it isn't exactly as sexy as hanging out in MySpace. Perhaps I'm wrong though…some of the bored housewives in silicon valley may want to check out this review of… Read More

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - No. 13 Arizona State collected 25 hits and hit four homers as it defeated the New Mexico baseball team, 22-4, Tuesday night at Isotopes Park. The Lobos (22-26-1, 18-9 MWC) will now turn their focus on the bigger picture - playing UNLV (32-20, 19-8 MWC) later this week (May 20-22) at Isotopes Park with the Mountain West regular season championship on the line. If the Lobos sweep the Rebels, they will will in the conference outright; if they take two out of three and San Diego State loses at least once to Utah, they will tie for the title but go to the conference tournament as the No. 1 seed.
Arizona State (36-13) scored six runs in the first - keyed by a Chris Cook grand slam - and never looked back. ASU added two runs in the second, two in the third and five in the fifth to go up 15-0 before the Lobos scored a run in the fifth on a Josh Mader RBI single.
In the sixth, Tim Grady hit a deep solo homer over the scoreboard in left-center. Grady went 3-for-4 in the game and had two doubles to go along with his homer. Matt Young, who also collected three hits, hit a run-scoring triple in the same inning. In the ninth, Daniel Stovall delivered an RBI single for UNM's fourth run of the game.
New Mexico and UNLV begin their three-game series at noon on Thursday, May 20 at Isotopes Park.

Support Grows to Save Lewis & Clark Library
Mid-century modernist architecture sits at the crossroads in St. Louis. It is reaching the age where many of its detractors consider it obsolete, a relic not attuned to the needs of present-day society. Meanwhile, the average American sees this period of architecture with a mix of suspicion or indifference. And at the nexus sits the Lewis & Clark Library, a branch of the St. Louis County Library system. In the year since its proposed demolition, public support to preserve the library has grown throughout the region, from residents who have patronized the library for decades to modernist-architecture fans born long after its construction.
Photos: Lindsey Derrington and ModernSTL Stained-glass window from Lewis & Clark Library. Lewis & Clark Library exterior.
In the early 1950s, as hundreds of thousands of St. Louisans moved out of the city and into the county, the newly expanding suburbs worked to provide the services their new residents left behind in the city. While older suburbs such as Kirkwood and Webster Groves already had public libraries, much of the newly suburbanized reaches of the county north and south of the city did not. Residential development along the Lewis & Clark Highway (MO 367) proved particularly robust.
The Lewis & Clark branch opened to great fanfare. Seeking to adapt to a new era, the library rejected many of the supposed pretenses and preconceptions of libraries at the time as stuffy, moribund places. Lewis & Clark instead offered a more casual, social environment, following trends to transform libraries into civic spaces for meetings and relaxation.
See Also: St. Louis County Library Plan Will Raze North County Architectural Gem
The design of Lewis & Clark called for a grand open space unbroken by support columns, lit by clerestory windows and a sloping roof. The library has received two renovations in the last decade. From a structural and visual standpoint, the building remains in excellent physical condition. When I visited in the last week during the middle of the day, dozens of patrons filled the library, which makes it all the more surprising that county officials have proposed its demolition on the grounds of obsolescence and lack of functional flexibility.
Interior of Lewis & Clark, showing open and unobstructed floor plan.
I fail to see how a building with a completely open floor plan, unencumbered by structural supports or load-bearing walls, could not serve new uses in the next century. ModernSTL, a local group of architects and fans of modernist architecture in St. Louis, have proposed an architecturally sensitive and fiscally responsible addition to the library. Likewise, other north-county residents are building support for preserving the library with an online petition and Facebook page.
Continue to the next page to see ModernSTL's proposed addition.

staff does not answer phone and run down areas all overPosted Mar 29, 2013
Cons: No free Internet, Noisy
this place is okay but needs a little care. rooms are needing fixing up of a lot of broken things and hot water in the a.m. is awful, takes a half hour of running to get hot. front desk only answers phone on occasion. internet costs 9.99 a day but never works after you pay, always fixing it. walls are very thin can hear neighbors talking

This has turned out to be home away from home!!Posted Oct 20, 2011
Pros: Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet
We stay there every year we go to Orlando. Even though the price has increased 50% it is still a fair value for the money. Very comftorable, good staff and good location. Close to all resorts. Had minor problems with the main TV not picking up major networks but think this was a cable problem that couldn't get corrected and never was by the cable co. Would stay there again if the price doesn't increase too much next year!!

No Hot water was available all the times. The rooms have distinct smell due to the fact that they may have not been opended and used a lot.

Westgate Leisure Suites OrlandoPosted Jan 15, 2010
Unfortunately, it didn't work out at all. Our business partner X, who was arriving first on Sunday, discovered he had no internet access anywhere in the 2-BR suite and was unable to use his computer. The hotel was unable to help him so he checked out and moved to a new hotel. My husband didn't arrive until the next day and X had already changed hotels without telling me, so I was unable to work through the travel agency to resolve his original problem with no internet availability. X did say the suite was otherwise fine and would have worked out except for the inability to use his computer, which ws vital to their stay. I'm afraid we're just out the $* and I will know better next time to check with the hotel ahead of time as to internet availability.

Great location....Posted Oct 15, 2007
The resort was in a great location with easy access not only to the parks and I-Drive, but for shopping as well.\nThe condo itself was definitely a home away from home, which comes in handy vs. a regular hotel room when early risers want to get up before their 2 teen aged girls and relax with coffee and newspaper each morning!\n\nThe fully equipped kitchen was great for making meals, although we ate most of our dinners out. They have a small store with a few necessities, but a 7_11 and Publix are right around the corner.\n\nThe pool was busy in the evening, but in general during the day we had it to ourselves and it was nice just to relax and soak up the sun.\n\nCONS: the water had a "burnt" smell to it. I remember seeing a comment on another site about it, so we just bought water for drinking and coffee.\nThe A/C wasn't the coolest in the world, but better than outside.\nNo wireless internet-in someways a good thing, however they do have a business center where you can surf for 20 cents a minute and print out what you need (like boarding passes).\n\nIn general a good place to stay in the middle of everything.

Started going to this place since it was Teriyaki Boy and even though is a new name and menu, the staff is the same. Very friendly and incredible memory, they remembered me after a 2 years absence! Love the noddles and prompt service. Highly recommended, just note, always packed, but i know why! ;-)

Terakawa Ramen - the bone broth was think but not deep in flavor for me. I didn't get a heartburn from it after (no MSG). If I am in the neighborhood and crave for ramen, this is the place. For lunch, add $2 to get well executed but lack in flavor Gyoza, fried rice or Curry rice is a nice offer with a good portion but add $4 and order twice the size of topping in Kyu-Syu Danji Ramen might be a good one if you are very hungry.
Posted by Ramen Lover on 06/08/2012
Love the ramen with pork bone based soup. The flavor is deep and rich. The fried rice is also quite tasty. Great spot to check out if you live nearby and is in the mood for ramen.
Posted by Phil on 01/21/2012
Small ramen place (maybe 15 seats). Quick service, quick food. Lunch specials are inexpensive and a good deal. Dinner is a bit expensive for what it is. Not a destination ramen joint like Ippudo or Totto, but a very good neighborhood place if you're in the mood for ramen.

Three Summerville families who lost loved ones to gunfire called for an end to the violence Sunday.
About 100 people gathered in Wassamassaw Park to talk about how to keep young people from shooting each other.
The rally was organized to remember three young men who were killed.
David Boone, 21, was shot to death Nov. 3, 2003, while listening to music in his pickup truck in his parents' driveway in Palmetto Park. Nobody has been charged.
John Elliot Hancock, 36, was shot to death Oct. 3, 2012, while sitting talking in a parked car on Lilac Street in the Robynwyn subdivision near the park. Nobody has been charged.
Don'ta Pringle, 22, of Summerville was shot to death July 4, 2013, outside a Meeting Street gas station after attending a concert in downtown Charleston. Two felons were arrested and charged with murder.
Antawon Boone, David Boone's sister, urged everybody to get involved to stop the next death.
"Let people know God is alive and we are going to take out community back," she said.
Barbara Williams, John Hancock's sister, said she wants the killers brought to justice.
"Nobody who kills somebody should be able to walk around free," she said.
Pringle's mother, Heather Pringle, urged young men to solve their problems without guns.
"Put the guns down," she said. "Let's go back to the days when we were raised, if you've got a problem, fight, but live to see another day."
The rally was organized by Louis Smith, leader of the Community Resource Center, who has family in Robynwyn.
"What is happening is destroying the very fabric of our families," he said.
Pastor Thomas Dixon, who leads People United To Take Back Our Community, also spoke.
"It's time to stop this madness," he said. "For too long we've tolerated it."
A pastor in the Pringles' church told his story as an example of hope to youth. Elder Abraham Belanger of Refuge Bibleway Church on East 4th North Street said when he was 18, he was facing 77 years in prison on gun and drug charges, but God turned his life around.
"I did all the wrong stuff, but God had a purpose for me," he said. "These young people are shooting each other because they don't have a purpose."

This is a entry to the "Keep the bottle" contest. Please take the time to vote if you think the idea, is worth me getting a prize for it. I would really enjoy the prize, so please vote.
Feel free to check out some of my other bottle projects.
High Quality Cups from Water bottles
Recycle Reminder Lamp from Water bottles
High fashion Earrings from water bottles
Mouse / Rat Trap from Water bottle
The Simple Mans Shower Caddy from Water bottle
Step 1: What you will need
~ Scissors.
~ Some cord.
~ Duct tape.
~ Your choice of lining. I have used Astro turf.
Step 2: Cutting and creating cord holes
Now squash the bottle flat.
Mark three points for cord mounting. Position holes as pictured.
Cut small holes to feed the cord through. At the neck you will need two small holes to feed the cord through.
Step 3: Inserting cord
Step 4: Cutting and positioning the lining
Cut a slit to accomodate the cord.
Apply your duct tape to hold the lining in position.
thank you
You can move the point of splice to any of your supportive toes. Such as the point between middle and forth one.
Though that'll be quite uncomfortable...but it really works.
Or, add an extra strap that goes behind your ankles.
You have inspired me greatly today! Thanks!
Good luck!
As brilliant as the idea is...it pains my heart to think these might be the only shoes a person might own. Its been a reality check for me...living in the USA.
good instructable though!
I would be tempted to link them side-by-side, somehow, to see if the two (diamonds?) could fly together like a two-stringed Revolution or M-Quad.

Selected viruses, spyware, and other threats: sorted alphabetically
X97M/Barisada.D is a macro virus infecting in the Microsoft Excel 97 environment. It uses the "class" method of infection – it attacks the module "ThisWorkbook" which is present as a standard in each Excel document or template.
After an infected document is opened X97M/Barisada.D is finding out whether there is the file khm.xls in the directory at which the variable Application.StartupPath is pointing. If that file does not exist the virus will create it upon finishing work with the infected document. Documents located in that directory are run always when Excel is executed. This variant does not contain activating routine as the virus X97M/Barisada.A does. In addition, there are several lines with comments in its code.

Spread the holiday spirit when you share these delicious breads with your family:
VIDEO: Ooey-Gooey Cinnamon Buns >>
This famous German bread originated in the city of Dresden. Its unusual shape, with its characteristic indentation, was meant to represent the swaddled Christ Child. Stollen is made from a very rich but not overly sweet dough that is studded with candied fruits and nuts and may include a ribbon of marzipan down the center. The finished loaf is brushed with clarified butter and rolled in confectioners' sugar.
Although its beginnings are the subject of many charming legends, the one undisputed fact about Panettone is that it comes from Milan, Italy. It is traditionally a large loaf baked in a round, tall-sided pan. It can be served as a breakfast bread or a dessert.
Scandinavian breads come in fragrant cardamom or saffron-scented braids and rolls.

Scientists from the Natural History Museum have helped put together Thailand's first national collection and identification facility for insects.
The state-of-the-art infrastructure will help conserve the biodiversity in Thailand and was opened in May 2007.
Biodiversity in Thailand is at risk from deforestation, pollution and human population pressure and half of Thailand's natural forests have disappeared in the last 30 years.
There are over 1000 plant and animal species that are endangered, making it essential to have a good specimen collection and trained local people to tackle this problem.
Project leader Dr Ralph Harbach, mosquito and insect expert at the Museum, said, 'Thailand's plant species have been well-studied, but only a fifth of the estimated 87,500 indigenous animal species have been identified, of which almost half are insects.'
'This new infrastructure provides the cornerstone for Thailand's national biodiversity and conservation research on insects.'
The new facility is based on the system used at the Natural History Museum in the UK, which looks after a comprehensive collection of insects from Southeast Asia and the rest of the world.
Museum scientists helped put systems in place to collect and look after biological specimens, train local people and develop research opportunities.
Some of the facilities include state-of-the-art insect cabinets in climate-controlled rooms. These are essential because, when insect specimens are added to a collection, they are at risk of being eaten by other insect pests.
There are more species of insect in the world than any other group, so the team began by collecting insects from three groups: flies (order Diptera), beetles (order Coleoptera) and butterflies and moths (order Lepidoptera).
It is also necessary to have samples of all the different stages in the life cycle of an insect. Dr Harbach helped to collect and identify the larval, pupal and adult stages of 126 mosquito species.
The project is a collaboration between the Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden in Thailand, the Darwin Initiative (DEFRA, UK) and the Natural History Museum UK.
'As a very successful international collaboration,' says Dr Harbach, 'this will also be a valuable international resource for conservation studies of endangered insects.'
The infrastructure has already attracted a new international project with the remit of studying the biodiversity of insects in 30 of Thailand's national parks.

I wrote a letter to the NY Times in reply to Gail Collins' piece on Arizona. It was published but, of course, even though the point of the letter was to ask for an explanation, there were no replies.
Here's the letter:
"On the political spectrum I'd align most closely with Elizabeth Warren. I say this because I feel like I'm not supposed to have such thoughts as these. I would like someone to explain how the law is supposed to deal with someone [in the private sector] who refuses to serve ANYONE for ANY reason. Seinfeld's "Soup Nazi" was hilarious but fictional. I don't care HOW good his soup is, he'd be out of business in a flash.
"discrimination is bad for business"
Obviously if any public funds were at stake, use the ton-of-bricks provisions. But firstly, how does the government force a private business to provide goods/services to a particular party. Secondly, shouldn't "the market" decide what gets provided and what gets consumed?" [...and by whom?]
No reply.
To expand a little, say a wedding cake baker is stupid enough to decide that he will not provide a cake with two tuxedoed guy figures on top. Is the government supposed to MAKE him bake such a cake. I can tell you I'm one person who would refuse to eat cake baked under those circumstances.
I believe there is a political point to be made here. I'm just surprised that it's ME making it.
Discrimination is wrong.
Discrimination is stupid.
But don't people have a right to be wrong and stupid? To my understanding the government only gets involved when government/public interests/money are involved - like MAKING a school accept a black student.
Views: 701
No, they don't under current law, unless they are denying service to someone based on race, gender, or age. Sexual orientation is currently not a protected class under the law. Surely you've seen the "No shirt. No shoes. No service." signs. That was no bullshit.
Sexual orientation is currently not a protected class under the law.
Not federally, but sexual orientation is a protected class in 31 states and in the nation's capital as of 2012.
These are Alaska, Arizona (hence the need for a stupid law to exempt religious bigotry), California, Colorado, Connect, DC, Delaware, Hawaii, Illionois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin.
The protections may be subdivided into 'Weak', 'Good' and 'Strong' depending on the state and the level of protection afforded.
(Source: List is on p.6. State-by-state laws and details starting on p. 22)
Thanks so much. I'm still confused on how this all hangs together, but I have the feeling I'll understand more after going through your sources (and subsequent links.)
Thanks so much. I'm still confused on how this all hangs together, but I have the feeling I'll understand more after going through your sources (and subsequent links.)
Just to make it even more confusing:
The source document I posted above makes no distinction between state laws and local laws in listing 31 states that make LGBT people a protected class.
Local laws refer to cities or towns within a state, which may declare LGBT people to be protected classes against discrimination. For instance, the City of Tempe, Arizona just passed a city ordinance to this effect.
The US is a federalist system of government. Policy can be made by governments at the federal level, state level and local level. The higher level policy supersedes.
For instance, if the new pro-bigotry state law in Arizona had passed, the anti-bigotry local law in Tempe would be void. But if the US federal government passed an anti-bigotry federal law, then Arizona's pro-bigotry state law would be void.
In Summary: Are LGBT people a protected class in the US?*
Federal (the US government): No.
State (50 governments in total): Yes, in 21 of them.
Local (governments of thousands of cities, towns, etc.): Yes, in 11 more states.
*Some of the data is 2 years old. Given the amazing reforms of recent years, there may actually be more places where LGBT people are protected by now.
I meant to mention the fed/state/county/city hierarchy, but your post is a couple dozen times more informative than mine would have been. Nice work!
For added perspective, consider the strange case of 'Sweet Cakes by Melissa' and "Fleur Cakes" in Oregon. The cake shops refused to serve a lesbian couple, citing devout Christian beliefs, with one telling the couple they are "abominations to the Lord".
There was no word on how the cake shops stand on other Biblical abominations (like eating lobster). However, five reporters called the two bakeries anonymously to get price quotes for other occasions frowned upon by the Bible and many Christians. The bakeries were willing to provide cakes for divorces, unmarried parents, stem-cell research, non-kosher barbecues and pagan solstice parties.
I don't buy the sales pitch that the Arizona law and others like it are about religious freedom. Not when the Bible doesn't mean anything it says, except for what the bigot means.
Of course it's not about their "religious freedom" ...but rather their freedom to discriminate and have that behaviour excused under the veil of the religious defense.
I wonder if BDSM is a recognized sexual orientation, and if not why not?
I have run into a few folks with this 'interest', but they are not very forthcoming. It has made for interesting 'side panel' conversations, but nothing I would have interest in. I expect if you do not have an adult shop, or are not the social gad-fly, you will never find out. They have been, for me, 'TMI' moments...;p(...
I feel hurt that anyone would bring up bestiality while discussing gay rights.
Sorry, good point. I thought I was making fun of scripture, but it didn't come out right. I'll delete the comment later, unless you object (because it'll also delete your response).

What is vaginal swelling?
Swelling of the vagina can be generalized or may be present only in a limited location. Generalized swelling is known as edema. Edema results from fluid filling the tissues and may be associated with normal-looking, red or blotchy overlying skin. In inflammation, the skin is often swollen and red and may be warm to the touch.
OB/GYN Spotlight
Edema may be due to problems with the blood vessels or lymphatics (small, thin vessels that carry tissue fluid) and can also follow trauma. Inflammation can be due to allergy, irritation or infections. Allergy and irritation may be due to exposure to soaps, feminine hygiene products, perfumes, lubricants, douches, creams, or latex. Yeast infections and genital herpes are infections that can cause generalized vaginal swelling. An uncommon cause of generalized vaginal swelling is Fournier's gangrene, a severe and life-threatening bacterial infection of the genital area that spreads from the urinary or gastrointestinal tracts.
Defined areas of swelling may be due to cysts or abscesses. Cysts of the vaginal wall can result from birth trauma or may form around Gartner's ducts, ducts that form during fetal development and typically disappear after birth. Some vaginal tumors can also cause cysts. Bartholin's glands, glands located on either side of the vaginal opening, can fill up with fluid, which can become infected and form abscesses.
The first step to treating vaginal swelling is identifying the cause. Inflammation may be treated by avoiding exposure to any irritants or allergens that can be identified. Antifungal drugs can be given to treat yeast infections, and antiviral drugs may be used to manage genital herpes symptoms. Cysts and abscesses may need to be drained or removed; antibiotics may be used for abscesses.
Vaginal swelling may be due to a treatable condition or may be a sign of a serious medical condition. Seek immediate medical care (call 911) if you have vaginal swelling accompanied by severe pain, severe swelling, high fever (higher than 101 degrees Fahrenheit), or excessive vaginal bleeding.
If your vaginal swelling is persistent or causes you concern, seek prompt medical care.
What other symptoms might occur with vaginal swelling?
Vaginal swelling may accompany other symptoms, which vary depending on the underlying disease, disorder or condition. Symptoms that frequently affect the reproductive tract may also involve other body systems.
Reproductive tract symptoms that may occur along with vaginal swellingVaginal swelling may accompany other symptoms affecting the reproductive tract including:
What causes vaginal swelling?
Vaginal swelling can occur due to edema, inflammation, infection, cysts, abscesses or tumors. Edema may occur with conditions affecting other body systems, while the rest of the causes of vaginal swelling tend to only affect the vagina and reproductive organs.
