Female Anatomy - The Female prostate

Rediscovering the Female Prostate — What Science Now Reveals About Skene’s Glands

Female Anatomy - what is that fluid during o.r.g.a.s.m? What is inside it? Female prostate

For decades, medical science largely ignored an essential yet lesser-known part of the female anatomy: the Skene's glands, often referred to as the female prostate. Though not as visibly prominent as the male prostate, these glands have drawn renewed attention in the medical and scientific communities for their role in female sexual health, urinary function, and even hormonal balance.

Located on the front vaginal wall near the urethra, the Skene’s glands are small structures that secrete fluid. During arousal or orgasm, they can release a substance similar in composition to male prostatic fluid. This has led many researchers to assert that women, too, possess a form of prostate—functionally and anatomically analogous, albeit smaller and less centralized.

Histological studies (those that examine tissue structure) have shown that Skene's glands contain PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) and PAP (Prostatic Acid Phosphatase), the same enzymes found in the male prostate. This biochemical similarity has reinforced the argument that the female prostate is not simply a myth or an anatomical footnote but a genuine part of female reproductive and excretory systems.

More controversially, the Skene’s glands are often associated with female ejaculation, a topic surrounded by cultural taboos and scientific disagreement. Some studies suggest the fluid expelled during female ejaculation originates from these glands and is chemically distinct from urine. Others remain skeptical, citing limited clinical data. Nonetheless, new imaging technologies and biopsies have helped validate the role of Skene’s glands in producing a unique fluid, separate from urinary output.

Some conservative scholars argue the female prostate’s marginalization in mainstream education stems from societal discomfort with female sexuality. They contend that decades of neglect in anatomical education have contributed to misinformation, sexual frustration, and even improper medical care—particularly in urology and gynecology. Meanwhile, a middle-of-the-road view acknowledges this organ's biological presence but calls for more research before redefining medical standards or diagnostic procedures.

Recent work in female urogenital mapping and MRI-based studies have started to integrate the female prostate into broader health discussions, particularly for its relevance in prostate-like cancers in women, incontinence treatment, and understanding female sexual dysfunction.

This resurgence of interest in the female prostate is not only reshaping gynecological science but is also helping to bridge gender biases in medical research. Recognizing the Skene’s glands as more than just a mystery tissue reaffirms that female anatomy is rich with complexity and still underexplored in vital ways.
