Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A transgender woman who has undergone bottom surgery (gender affirmation surgery to construct a vagina and remove the penis) still retains her prostate gland, as it is not usually removed during the surgery. Therefore, regular prostate examinations are necessary for monitoring her health, alongside other routine screenings such as Pap smears, breast examinations, and mammography.
