Prostatic_venous_plexus
The prostatic veins form a well-marked prostatic plexus which lies partly in the fascial sheath of the prostate and partly between the sheath and the prostatic capsule.[citation needed] It collects blood from the prostate, and (via the v. dorsalis profunda clitoridis) the corpora cavernosa of penis.[1] It communicates with the pudendal and vesical plexuses.[citation needed]
