Bartolini Stream

Bartholin's duct, or Bartholin's tubes, is a paired tubular organ, a short tube on each of the large lips of the anterior wall of the vagina in some vertebrates, as well as in humans (the intersection of the aggregate strong cords of the scrotum). In men, it is also called the urethral glands (prostate glands). Sometimes one duct is isolated from the general list, called the “male urethral gland,” referring to the discoverer of this structure, Robert Bartholin. The ducts open both on the posterior wall of the vagina below and on the mucous membrane of the glans penis.

**Bartholin's duct** is an anatomical canal that passes through the thickness of the vaginal wall and opens into the vestibule of the perineum. Its main feature is that it does not have valves and can partially become overgrown during pregnancy, thereby reducing the rate of excretion of vaginal secretions. Bartholin's glands receive outflow only from it. Due to this, a number of problems and complications may arise in the future.
