The greater vestibular glands (Bartholin’s glands) are seen in women. They are small, pea-shaped mucous glands that lie posterior to the bulbs of the vestibule on each side of the vaginal opening and are the female homologues of the bulbo-urethral glands in men (Fig. 5.71). However, the bulbo-urethral glands are located within the deep perineal pouch, whereas the greater vestibular glands are in the superficial perineal pouch.
