from what I know of a friend: There's some stretching required of the new vaginal entrance (medically prescribed dildos back in fashion!) and yes, trans women can potentially develop cancer much like their cis counterparts. Generally advised to get it checked every so often to make sure it's all up to snuff.
No. Very much unlike their cis counterparts, a female transperson has no uterus, no fallopian tubes, or any other part commonly found in a vagina. They can develop topical cancers such as skin cancers or subdermal cancers as in literally any tissue anywhere in their bodies, but those are not cancers generally found during a pap-smear (which is the primary domain of a gyno). Any sufficiently skilled GP or dermatologist would be equally or better suited.
You try and get a dermatologist or gp to inspect vaginal tissue, they're gonna refer you to a gyno
And is that care provided by general practice gynecologists or specialized ones?
She had a standard gyno
That is actually very good and interesting to know.
Not at all true. You can’t get cervical cancer without a cervix. No uterus. No fallopian tubes. None of the same bits.
