Bartholin's gland. The Bartholin's glands (also called Bartholin glands or greater vestibular 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.
Bartholin glands are very small, round glands that are located in the vulva on either side of the opening to the vagina. Because they are located deep under the skin, they cannot normally be felt. These glands may help provide fluids for lubrication during sexual intercourse.
