Most trans women retain their prostate. But trans women as a cohort are at a lower risk of prostate cancer (Although the risk is not zero!). I don’t know the mechanism of that, but I suspect it has to do with hrt
Both a digital rectal exam and blood test (The usual mechanisms) should (I am not an expert in trans healthcare and i am relaying stuff i remember from the slides of a single lecture that I missed) work just fine for trans women too.
Don’t trans women still have prostate though? I’m asking bc ihdk.

It is probably because of HRT. How do they get the screenings though? Can they go to urology for that?
