How Severe Are Your Prostate Symptoms?
Take this two minute symptom score to better understand where you stand and what treatment options may be worth discussing.
This tool does not diagnose a medical condition. It is designed to help you understand symptom severity and prepare for a discussion with your doctor.
About This Assessment
The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) is a validated questionnaire commonly used by urologists and other specialists to evaluate urinary symptoms related to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as an enlarged prostate.
The IPSS helps measure symptom severity, track changes over time, and assess response to treatment. It is widely used in clinical practice and research.
This assessment does not diagnose a medical condition and should not replace evaluation by a qualified healthcare professional. However, it can help you better understand your symptoms and prepare for a discussion with your doctor.
