A Cowper gland (also called a bulbourethral gland) is one of two small exocrine glands in the reproductive system of most male mammals. they are each about the size of a pea in humans, located below the prostate gland, which secrete as part of the ejaculate a clear fluid which helps lubricate the urethra.
Why are the endocrine glands called ductless glands?
Because an endocrine glad does not have a tube through which it delivers hormone to the body. They just release their hormones into the space around the gland, which diffuse into the blood stream.
Why would enlargement of the prostate gland interfere with the passage of urine?
Because the prostate is right next to the urethra just below the bladder. So when it gets bigger it cuts it off or make it smaller. See related link.
What is the function of the Cowper glands?
The Cowper's glands (bulbourethral gland) are male sexual glands. They are two small racemose glands that are located below the prostate and discharge a component of the seminal fluid into the urethra. They are homologous to the Bartholin's glands in the female. The secretions provide fluid to lubricate and clean the lower urethra, which may have residue left from its use during urination. During sexual arousal each gland produces a clear, viscous secretion known as pre-ejaculate. This fluid helps to lubricate the urethra for spermatozoa to pass through, it neutralizes traces of acidic urine in the urethra, and helps flush out any residual urine or foreign matter. It is possible for this fluid to pick up sperm, remaining in the urethral bulb from previous ejaculations, and carry them out prior to the next ejaculation.

What does the bulbourethral gland produce?
The main function of the bulbourethral or cowper's gland is to produce and release the "pre-cum" to rid the urethra of any acidic urine. The clear fluid neutralizes urine in the urethra so that when a man ejaculates, the sperm in the semen are not destroyed by acidic urine leftover in the urethra. The whole purpose of ejaculation is to send healthy sperm out of the male and into the female reproductive system for fertilization; this can't happen if the sperm come into contact with acidic fluids. The bulbourethral glands (also known as the cowper's glands) are male sexual glands. They are located below the prostate and discharge a component of the seminal fluid into the urethra. During sexual intercourse each gland produces a secretion known as pre-ejaculate. This fluid helps to lubricate the urethra for spermatozoa to pass through, it neutralizes traces of acidic urine in the urethra, and helps flush out any residual urine or foreign matter. It is possible for this fluid to pick up sperm, and carry them out prior to the next intercourse.
