In female human anatomy, the Skene's glands, which are known as the lesser vestibular glands, periuretheral glans, U-spots or female prostate, are glands 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. These glands are surrounded with tissue, which includes the part of the clitoris that reaches up inside the vagina and swells with blood during sexual arousal.
In male human anatomy, the prostate is a gland located between the bladder and the penis, just in front of the rectum. The urethra runs through the center of the prostate, from the bladder to the penis, letting urine flow out of the body. The prostate secretes fluid that nourishes and protects sperm. During ejaculation, the prostate squeezes this fluid into the urethra, and it’s expelled with sperm as semen.
Referring to the Skene's glands as a prostate gland is anatomically and physiologically incorrect and not something a medical professional would do.
