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's Cyst. Causes of Bartholin's Cyst. The cause of a Bartholinâs cyst is a duct obstruction that leads to fluid backup in the Bartholinâs glands. This fluid may build up for years before the cyst actually occurs; however, the abscess can appear very quickly, over just a few days, and become extremely hot and swollen.
