PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The bulbourethral gland or Cowper’s gland, which is homologous to the Bartholin’s gland in females, produces a pre-ejaculate that cleanses and lubricates the urethra prior to the arrival of the semen.

Detailed explanation-2: -They produce thick clear mucus prior to ejaculation that drains into the spongy urethra. Though it is well established that the function of the Cowper’s gland secretions is to neutralize traces of acidic urine in the urethra, knowledge regarding the various lesions and associated complications of this gland is scarce.

Detailed explanation-3: -This fluid neutralizes the acidity of the urine residue in the urethra, helps to neutralize the acidity of the vagina, and provides some lubrication for the tip of the penis during intercourse. Cowper gland secretions contain no sperm.
