What is the function of the Bartholin's glands in the female external genitalia?

Asked by Sultanah Fatimah · 2 years ago

I have read about the Bartholin's glands in the context of female external genitalia. Can you explain their function in a simple way?

1 Answer

The Bartholin's glands are a pair of small glands located on either side of the vaginal opening. Their primary function is to secrete a lubricating fluid. This fluid helps to keep the vulva moist and makes sexual intercourse more comfortable by reducing friction.
