Assess Your Symptoms

Assess Your Symptoms

The International Prostate Symptom Score is a simple questionnaire. It contains seven questions intended to classify the severity of your enlarged prostate symptoms. Select the response for each question that most closely corresponds to your recent experiences.

To mark your response, click on the button in the column which best describes your symptom. After you answer these seven questions, your score will be calculated immediately, and you will be given a brief interpretation of the score. Contact your doctor for any questions that you have about the score results.
