Skene's glands, also known as the paraurethral glands, are located around the urethra in women and are
often referred to as the 'female prostate' due to their homologous origin with the male prostate.
In the early stages of embryonic development, both male and female embryos possess gonadal tissue
that has the potential to develop into either testes or ovaries. The fate of this undifferentiated gonadal
t
issue is determined by the presence or absence of certain genetic signals, particularly those associated
with the presence of the Y chromosome.
The prostate in males and the Skene's glands in females both have a common origin in the
undifferentiated tissues of the genital system.
If the embryo carries a Y chromosome and other genes necessary for sexual differentiation, indicating a
male, the undifferentiated gonadal tissue develops into testes. The testes then release hormones,
including testosterone, which directs the development of male reproductive organs.
If the embryo does not have a Y chromosome, indicating a female, the gonadal tissue develops into
ovaries. The absence of certain hormones leads to the development of female reproductive structures.
Both structures, the prostate in males and the Skene's glands in females, have a common origin in the
undifferentiated tissues of the genital system.
The Skene's glands, also known as female prostate, are two small glands located on either side of the
urethra in the female reproductive system. They are found near the opening of the urethra at 5 & 7
o’clock around the urethral orifice just inside the vulva. Each Skene's gland is about the size of a pea and
is made up of acini, which are small clusters of cells that produce the glandular fluid. The fluid is then
drained through a single duct near of urethral opening.
The exact function of Skene's glands is still being researched, but they are believed to play a role in both
urinary and sexual health.
