Montgomery Glands

Montgomery Iron (W. F. Montgomery) is an Irish obstetrician who made significant contributions to the development of obstetrics and gynecology. He was one of the first to use Montgomery iron for labor pain relief.

Montgomery iron is a gland that is located on the inner surface of the mammary gland. It contains a substance called oxytocin, which stimulates uterine contractions and facilitates labor.

In 1840, Montgomery published his work on the use of the Montgomery glands for pain relief in childbirth, and since then they have been widely used in obstetric practice.

However, using the Montgomery glands has its drawbacks. They can cause allergic reactions in some women and can also be dangerous if used incorrectly.

Despite this, Montgomery iron remains an important instrument in obstetrics and gynecology, and continues to be used in many countries around the world.

“Montgomery glands” are small glandular folds in the wall of the vaginal vestibule that help the female body maintain an optimal level of acid-base balance in the vagina.

Why “iron”? The fact is that the glands contain special cells that produce alkali. When the cells are located in the folds of the vaginal wall, the alkaline fluid they produce (cervical ectopia) does not extend beyond the folds and remains inside. As a result, they perform protective functions and prevent infection of the genitals during sexual intercourse. However, if the glands become stuck together or clogged, the acidic environment in the vagina can lead to
