		Bartholin's glands are located bilaterally at the posterior introitus and drain through ducts that empty into the vestibule at approximately the 4 o'clock and 8 o'clock positions.
		Anatomy Bartholin's glands (greater vestibular glands) are homologues of the Cowper's glands (bulbourethral glands) in males.1 At puberty, these glands begin to function, providing moisture for the vestibule.
		The glands are located bilaterally at the base of the labia minora and drain through 2- to 2.5-cmlong ducts that empty into the vestibule at about the 4 o'clock and 8 o'clock positions.

		transudation of fluid across the mucosa of the vagina, and mucus from the greater vestibular glands); female ejaculation (from paraurethral glands); and gushing.
		The first, lubrication, consists of mucous secretions from the greater vestibular (formerly Bartholin's) glands and transudation of fluid across the mucosa of the vagina.
		The result of this would be that additional tissue spaces would be filled, a greater surface area of mucosa would deliver fluid to the vaginal lumen and thus the overall rate of transudation may increase from "lubrication" to "gushing".

		Bartholin's glands (greater vestibular glands) are homologues of the Cowper's glands (bulbourethral glands) in males.
		The glands are located bilaterally at the base of the labia minora and drain through 2- to 2.5-cm-long ducts that empty into the vestibule at about the 4 o'clock and 8 o'clock positions (2,3) (Figure 1).
		Because the Bartholin's glands usually shrink during menopause, a vulvar growth in a postmenopausal woman should be evaluated for malignancy, especially if the mass is irregular, nodular, and persistently indurated.
