Do girls have prostate glands?

The prostate is a physiological tissue that exists in every healthy male's body and provides a continuous supply of energy for male function. This organ is located near the male bladder. Generally speaking, only men have a prostate, but medical research in recent years has found that women may also have this prostate tissue. Let’s take a look at whether girls have prostate. I hope everyone can understand it.

Prostate disease is a common and frequently occurring disease among middle-aged and elderly men. However, with the further deepening of medical research and clinical cases, it has been confirmed that there is a gland in the posterior part of the female urethra that is equivalent to the male prostate. These glands are homologous to the male prostate during the embryonic period and are also influenced and controlled by endocrine system. If chronic inflammation or nodular neoplastic hyperplasia occurs, leading to stenosis or even obstruction of the bladder neck, a series of symptoms will occur, mainly discomfort in urination. It is clinically known as "female prostate occlusion syndrome" or "female prostate hypertrophy" or "female prostate residual hyperplasia".
