Cervix: Presumably, the cervix is still present (sub-total hysterectomy). If this is the case, cervical tissue, which contains transitional epithelium, can undergo hormonal and related chsnges. The cervix can also be impacted by HPV and cervical cancer screening (Pap smear/HPV testing) is still relevant.
