Bartholin’s glands are situated deeply in the posterior labia majora. They lie just inferior and lateral to the bulbocavernosus muscle and are normally not palpable. The main duct of each Bartholin’s gland passes deep to the labium minus to open into the vestibule, and their openings are often seen at 5 and 7 o’clock. These can be very prominent in some patients with erythema around the glandular duct opening (Figure 2.6).
