Solution

The Skene's glands are homologous with the prostate gland in males, containing numerous microanatomical structures in common with the prostate gland, such as secretory cells. Skene's glands are not, however, explicit prostate glands themselves. They are located on the anterior wall of the vagina around the lower end of the urethra. They drain into the urethra and near the urethral opening and may be near or a part of the G-spot.
