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] The cyst is treated by surgical excision or marsupialization.
Some physicians believe that urethral syndrome may be due to a low grade infection of the Skene's glands on the sides and bottom of the urethra. [citation needed] The Skene's glands are embryologically related to the prostate gland in the male, thus urethral syndrome may share a comparable cause with chronic prostatitis. [citation needed]
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
Vulva-owners have two sets of glands that are responsible for vaginal fluid during sexual arousal: the Bartholin’s glands, ... and the Skene’s glands, which are closer to the urethra.
A Bartholin's cyst occurs when a Bartholin's gland within the labia becomes blocked. [4] Small cysts may result in minimal or no symptoms. [1] Larger cysts may result in swelling on one side of the vaginal opening, as well as pain during sex or walking. [4] If the cyst becomes infected, an abscess can occur, which is typically red and very ...
To its left and right are the openings of the Skene's glands. Some evidence exists to suggest that the clitoral-urinary meatus distance (CUMD) in human females relates to the ease with which the female may achieve orgasm through penetrative sex. Orgasm from penetration alone is observed to be more likely as CUMD decreases. [2]

The majority of the liquid in vaginal discharge is mucus produced by glands of the cervix. [1] [4] The rest is made up of transudate from the vaginal walls and secretions from glands (Skene's and Bartholin's). [4]
