Quiz: How severe are my symptoms?

Find out your symptom score

To help rate BPH symptoms, the American Urological Association (AUA) developed the BPH Symptom Score Index.

To rate your symptoms, click on the answer for each question that is closest to what you have recently experienced. When you have finished the survey, click on the "Calculate your score" button to find out your score. The possible total ranges from 0 to 35 points, with higher scores for more severe symptoms.
