Lillian, Does that mean I had a "TVH and 2 SSO's" (total vaginal hysterectomy and 2 Singular Salpingoophrectomies)? I had the uterus out vaginally and the ovaries with full abdominal incisions, each at a different time (LOL)?? They told me that a total hysterectomy is when they also take the cervix which they did with me. Inquiring minds want to know (RLOL)!! JEAN

Hi Miss Sally, TAH= Total Abdominal Hysterectomy and BSO= Bilateral Salpingoophrectomy=Both ovaries and tubes.I'm sorry I forget not all understand medical terminology.But I think someone else asked that question in that manner so I answered it that way.By the way how are you? I am doing pretty good lately . I have had some good days not as much pain as others and able to manage a little better. I am awaiting a Pain Management appt to see about a hypogastric block. Maybe that will work for me. I see it didn't work for others but unfortunately what works for others doesn't for me.I have allergies to too many meds. Thanks . Love and Painfree wishes for you .Always Lillian
