Bartholin's Gland is an Important Part of the Female Reproductive System

Abstract

Bartholin's gland is a gland located under the labia minora near the opening of the vagina. Its size corresponds to the size of a pea, and under normal conditions it cannot be felt with the fingers. Bartholin's gland produces mucus whose role is to protect the sensitive area of the vulva during intercourse. Bartholin's gland is an important part of the female reproductive system. Since it is intangible under normal circumstances, many women are unaware of its existence.
