Is There a Link Thyroid And Bartholin's Gland Posted: 05-26-07 13:16pm
I wanted to know if anyone knew if there
was a connection between the thyroid and
the Bartholin's gland?

What exactly are you asking?? There is a
connection in a way, because the thyroid
has control over a lot of things, and
problems with your thyroid (especially
hypothyroidism) can cause a lack of
lubrication (which comes from the
bartholin's glands). Thyroid problems can
also cause a lack of desire.
So yes, they are connected, in a way. But
they do not directly affect each other (
meaning the thyroid does not secrete
hormones that are directly targeted at the
bartholin's gland, it's more of a
secondary effect.)
