BPH : SELF-ASSESSMENT
|
|
The American Urological Association (AUA) has drafted a simple symptom index to
help categorize enlarged prostate symptoms. It contains seven questions intended
to classify the severity of your enlarged prostate symptoms. The following is a
unique interactive series of questions that will help you determine the severity
of your urinating problems. After you answer these seven questions, your score will
be calculated immediately, and you will be given a brief interpretation of the score.
REMEMBER, your individual score must be interpreted with care. We recommend that
you contact your health care provider for any questions that you have. These seven
questions were compiled by a group of urologists. It is known as the Symptom Score
Index and is used by urologists around the country and by members of the AUA to
quantify a man's urinary 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 describes your symptom. Less than 1 time in 5.
