WHAT DOES BARTHOLIN'S GLANDS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Bartholin's gland

The Bartholin's glands are two pea sized compound racemose glands located slightly posterior and to the left and right of the opening of the vagina. They secrete mucus to lubricate the vagina and are homologous to bulbourethral glands in males. However, while Bartholin's glands are located in the superficial perineal pouch in females, bulbourethral glands are located in the deep perineal pouch in males. Their duct length is 1.5 to 2.0 cm and open into navicular fossa. The ducts are paired and open on the surface of the vulva. It is claimed that the two external openings of the Bartholin's ducts are often invisible to the naked human eye.
