		Bartholin's glands are paired (left and right) glands sited between the posterior part of the labia minora and the vaginal walls; their function is to secrete mucus as a lubricant during coitus.
		Bartholinitis is readily recognised by the site and nature of the swelling.
		If abscess formation has occurred, the abscess should be 'marsupialised', a procedure which involves wide incision of the mass followed by suturing of the inner edge of the incision to external mucosa.

		Purulent or mucoid exudate may be expressed from the urethra, the Skene’s gland ducts, or the Bartholin’s gland ducts.
