2-Minute Prostate Symptom Check

How are your urinary symptoms, really?

This is the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) — the same validated questionnaire urologists use. Answer seven quick questions about the past month to get an instant, confidential score and a sense of whether an evaluation is worthwhile.

Question 1 · Incomplete emptying
Over the past month, how often have you had a sensation of not emptying your bladder completely after you finished urinating?
Question 2 · Frequency
How often have you had to urinate again less than two hours after you finished urinating?
Question 3 · Intermittency
How often have you found you stopped and started again several times when you urinated?
Question 4 · Urgency
How often have you found it difficult to postpone urination?
Question 5 · Weak stream
How often have you had a weak urinary stream?
Question 6 · Straining
How often have you had to push or strain to begin urination?
Question 7 · Nighttime urination
From the time you went to bed until you got up, how many times did you typically get up to urinate?

About this score. The IPSS is a screening tool, not a diagnosis. A higher score means symptoms are more likely affecting your quality of life and worth evaluating. Whatever your number, a urologist can tell you what’s actually causing it — learn more about enlarged prostate (BPH).
