Assess Your Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Symptoms or BPH Symptoms

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Symptoms

The American Urological Association International Prostate Symptom Score (AUASS) 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 benign prostatic hyperplasia symptoms. 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 prostate test score results.
