Never: Women do not have a prostate gland and thus do not get prostate cancer.

NO PROSTATE: Women have plenty of other worries, thankfully an enlarged or ill prostate is not one of them, as this little gland only appears in men;however the skene glands around the female urethra are also known as the "female prostate".
