Skene's gland
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Skene's glands (also called lesser vestibular glands or paraurethral glands) are glands in the upper wall of the vagina. They empty into the urethra. Their location is known as the Gräfenberg spot. In males, their homologue is the prostate gland.
The glands are named after the person who described them first, Alexander Skene. He was a physician.
