There is a series of glands and ducts at the front of the vagina called the Skene’s glands, and these are sometimes called the “female prostate.” These glands have some of the same properties as the male prostate gland, which is located between the bladder and penis. For example, both contain prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and PSA phosphatase, two enzymes that can be markers of health. It is possible to have cancer of the Skene’s glands, which is sometimes called “female prostate cancer.” However, this is extremely rare . Below, we explore the function of the Skene’s glands, the related rates of cancer, and other conditions that can cause similar signs and symptoms. What does the female prostate do? Share on Pinterest gilaxia/Getty Images The Skene’s glands may correspond to what is commonly known as the G-spot, and research indicates that these glands and ducts also play other important roles, in the urinary system, for example. The use of more advanced imaging technology, such as MRI, has given researchers a better understanding of how the so-called female prostate works. PSA and cancer indicators One area of focus for researchers is how the Skene’s glands produce PSA. Levels of this antigen can help indicate prostate cancer in males and certain types of breast cancer in females. According to older research, checking PSA levels in people with some types of breast cancer may help doctors monitor the effects of the treatment. Female prostate cancer prevalence Female prostate cancer is “extremely rare,” according to 2017 research . According to older research , from 1994, cancer of the Skene’s glands accounted for about 0.003% of all reported cancer cases in the female urinary tract or genital area. One 2011 study, however, suggested that other cancers in the area might originate in the Skene’s glands. The researchers call for further investigation, which they say may help improve methods of diagnosing and treating genital cancers.
