Glossary International Prostate Symptom Score

standardized questionnaire assessing urinary symptoms and quality of life

The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) is a standardized questionnaire used to evaluate the severity of symptoms related to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a common condition in older men where the prostate gland enlarges and causes urinary problems. The IPSS consists of seven questions about urinary symptoms and one question about the patient's quality of life, helping healthcare providers assess the impact of BPH on daily activities and guide treatment decisions.
