THE FEMALE PROSTATE
Edition: “From Vestigial Skene’s Paraurethral Glands and
Ducts to Woman’s Functional Prostate” by Milan Zaviacic,
published by SAP (Slovak Academic Press, Ltd.) in Bratislava
1999. First edition, 171 pages. The publication is available as
a book or CD-ROM.
The edition is published by the internationally recognized
scientist, pioneer in the field of the female prostate as a
functional genitourinary female organ. It retells the most
updated information concerning the structure, function and
diseases of this small female organ. The edition is a result of
about 20 years of scientific and research work by Milan Zaviacic
and his co-workers, devoted to woman’s prostate, published in
more than 40 papers, mostly appearing in well-known
international scientific magazine.
The book is divided into 11 chapters representing self-contained
units with many illustrations; at in addition, important notions
appear repeatedly, in new interpretations and contexts. They
focus on the history of the female prostate, its size, weight
and macroanatomy, histology and ultra-structural parameters of
secretory, basal and intermediary cells of the female prostatic
glands. Other chapters reveal information about the enzyme
equipment of the female prostate and its exocrine arid
neuroendocrine function. Special attention is paid to the
implications of the exocrine function of the female prostate for
gynecology, urology, forensic medicine, chronobiology and
sexology, including information about the biological phenomenon
of female ejaculation and the role played in it by the female
prostate. Prostate Specific Antigen as well as its prostatic
and extra-prostatic sources in the female are further topics
covered. An important part of the edition (from the clinical
viewpoint) is devoted to the diseases of the female prostate,
including its inflammation, benign prostate hyperplasia and
cancer. The closing chapter of the edition explains and
provides justification for avoiding Skene’s eponym or the
histologically descriptive term “paraurethral glands and ducts
when referring to female prostate; this approach has been the
basis for perceiving the female prostate as a vestigial,
rudimentary and afunctional gland.
The edition is intended to physicians, in particular to
urologists, gynecologists, experts in forensic medicine,
pathologists. anatomists, histologists, specialists in
pathological physiology and physiobogists, chronobiologists,
sexologists, as well as to others who may come across the issue
of the female prostate and its diseases in their work; further,
to medical students, students of, and graduates from biological
and natural sciences, the Police Academy (criminologists) and,
last but not least, to educated lays. The female prostate should
no more be a secret and mysterious female organ (as being
referred to the past) to anybody who has read the edition.
The foreword by the prominent US scientist, biologically
oriented andrologist and oncologist Richard J. Ablin, PhD, the
discoverer of the Prostate Specific Antigen, is written in the
English language. A detailed summary in the Slovak and English
languages provides also the Slovak reader who is not proficient
in English with an opportunity to familiarize them with the
problem.
