Pain during sexual response due to bilateral Bartholin's gland adenomas. A case report

Benign adenomas of the major vestibular gland are very rare. Presented is a case of bilateral vestibular gland adenomas in a woman whose chief complaint was vulvar pain occurring with sexual arousal and orgasm. Surgical removal of the adenomas relieved the symptoms. The development of pain during sexual response in this case appears to be mediated by vascular engorgement.
