Disorders of the Skene's glands may include: Infection (called skenitis, urethral syndrome, or female prostatitis) [12] Skene's duct cyst: lined by stratified squamous epithelium, the cyst is caused by obstruction of the Skene's glands. It is located lateral to the urinary meatus. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used for diagnosis. [13]
Because the Skene's gland and the male prostate act similarly by secreting prostate-specific antigen (PSA), which is an ejaculate protein produced in males, and of prostate-specific acid phosphatase, the Skene's gland is sometimes referred to as the "female prostate".
Not to be confused with female ejaculation, which is a secretion from the Skene's gland. Беларуская (тарашкевіца): Вылеў у жанчыны пры дотыку свае пісі.
The release of this fluid is a product of the Skene's gland (female prostate), located within the walls of the urethra. The female prostate is much smaller than the male prostate but seems to behave in a similar fashion. Female ejaculate, though, does not contain sperm. [63] The female prostate is visible through MRI and ultrasound. [63]
There are two types of vestibular glands (also known as female accessory glands), both are structures found near and in the vagina: the greater, or major, vestibular glands are also known as Bartholin's glands; the lesser, or minor vestibular glands also known as Skene's glands
The male prostate is biologically homologous to the Skene's gland; [32] it has been unofficially called the male G-spot because it can also be used as an erogenous zone. [1] [33] Regnier de Graaf, in 1672, observed that the secretions (female ejaculation) by the erogenous zone in the vagina lubricate "in agreeable fashion during coitus".

The vestibular glands, also known as the female accessory glands, are the Bartholin's glands, which produce a mucous fluid for vaginal lubrication, and the Skene's glands for the ejaculation of fluid as well as for lubricating the meatus.
