| Pathologies for obstruction of Bartholin's glands | gonococcal infection or trauma (most common) |
| Reasons for labiaplasty | Correct the labia minora hypertrophy caused by congenital abnormality, to repair tearing and stretching due to childbirth, trauma, sexual intercourse, age, and genital piercing |
| If a D&C is performed after the 13th week of pregnancy, it is termed | dilation and evacuation (D&E) |
