One of the most common questions we receive is:
“If I’ve had gender-affirming surgery, do I need to see a gynecologist?”
The Short Answer: Yes! Trans women, just like any other women, benefit from gynecological care to maintain their vaginal and pelvic health.
Why Is It Important?
Post-Surgical Checkups – Regular examinations ensure your vaginal health is maintained and any concerns are addressed early.
Routine Screenings – Gynecologists use instruments such as speculums and swab tests to check for inflammation, irritation, and infections.
Why Trans Women, Just Like Any Other Women, Benefit from Gynecological Care:
- Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) & Yeast Infections: Trans women can experience BV and yeast infections, which require proper diagnosis and treatment.
- Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): A gynecologist can help manage and prevent recurrent UTIs.
- Inflammation & Irritation: Routine exams help identify and treat any discomfort or imbalances in the vaginal environment.
- Sexual & Reproductive Health: Whether it’s concerns about discomfort during intimacy, effects from hormone therapy, or overall vaginal wellness, gynecologists provide specialized guidance.
- Vaginal Microbiome & pH Balance: Maintaining a healthy vaginal microbiome is essential for preventing infections and irritation. A gynecologist can offer guidance on how to preserve proper pH balance and overall vaginal health.
- Personalized Hormonal & Vaginal Health Support: Every woman’s body is different. Gynecologists can provide personalized advice on maintaining optimal vaginal health based on individual needs.
The Bottom Line:
Your vaginal and pelvic health matter. Seeing a gynecologist ensures you receive the right support, screenings, and treatments for long-term well-being.
