How severe are your prostate symptoms?
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a noncancerous condition that refers to the enlargement of the prostate gland. The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) is a questionnaire designed to assess the severity of urinary symptoms often associated with BPH.
Your questionnaire results help us evaluate the impact of your symptoms and can guide treatment decisions. This assessment is not meant to provide medical advice or replace your provider’s expert opinion and care. Only your doctor or other health care provider can diagnose whether you have BPH and assess your individual condition. There are other conditions that can cause urinary symptoms besides BPH.
The following series of questions ask how often certain symptoms occur. To mark your response, select the circle that best describes your symptoms. When you have answered all eight questions, the form will calculate and then display your score. We encourage you to discuss these results with your doctor or other health care provider.
