[2] [3] Although there remains debate about the function of the Skene's glands, one purpose is to secrete a fluid that helps lubricate the urethral opening. [2] [3] Skene's glands produce a milk-like ultrafiltrate of blood plasma. The glands may be the source of female ejaculation, [3] [4] [5] but this has not been proven. [4]
Structures opening in the vulval vestibule are the urethra (urinary meatus), vagina, Bartholin's glands, and Skene's glands. [1]The external urethral orifice is placed about 25–30 millimetres (1–1.2 in) [2] behind the clitoris and immediately in front of that of the vagina; it usually assumes the form of a short, sagittal cleft with slightly raised margins.
Some women experience intense pleasure from stimulation of the urethral sponge and others find the sensation irritating. The urethral sponge surrounds the clitoral nerve, and since the two are so closely interconnected, stimulation of the clitoris may stimulate the nerve endings of the urethral sponge and vice versa.

“Some people say it is a fluid that’s collected in the bladder and released during times of orgasm; and some say that it’s actually being released from the Skene’s glands.” The Skene’s ...
Normal vaginal discharge is composed of cervical mucus, vaginal fluid, shedding vaginal and cervical cells, and bacteria. [1] 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]
“Female ejaculate is a thick milky substance that is emitted from paraurethral glands, also known as Skene’s glands, or the female prostate,” Hartman says. “It’s a very small amount ...
