Critical Care Obstetrics and Gynecology

Abstract

The Bartholin's glands, which are symmetrically placed at the posterior region of the vaginal entrance and play a significant function in the female reproductive system, are located symmetrically at the posterior region of the vaginal aperture. Mucus secretion and vaginal lubrication are handled by these two pea-sized glands. Mucus build-up in gland ducts causes cyst formation in the glands, which is common. It's crucial to keep an eye on these cysts since they can turn into carcinomas. Largercysts and abscesses are often located in the lower vestibular area, and they are characterised by erythema and edoema. Biopsy is good way to tell the difference between Bartholin's gland cystsand other diagnoses. Smaller cysts may be asymptomatic and goun treated, while larger cysts need medical treatment. There are several treatment possibilities, including marsupialization andCO2 laser. The female reproductive system's Bartholin's glandsare vital organs. Casper Bartholin, a Danish anatomist, was the first to describe the glands in the 17th century. The majorfunction of the organs is to secrete mucus to keep the vaginal and vulval areas lubricated.
