Our quiz is designed to provide you with insight into the severity of your BPH symptoms. It’s based on the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) survey used by doctors around the world to assess men like you. It doesn't attempt to provide medical advice or a diagnosis. It’s simply a tool to help you kickstart the conversation about BPH with your doctor.
(Providing your phone number allows a trained Boston Scientific BPH Education Specialist to get in touch with you and address any questions you may have.)
