The International Prostate Symptom Score (1-PSS) is based on answers to seven questions about urination symptoms. The patient selects one of the six scoring ranges with an answer of 0-5 based on the severity of the symptoms, and the overall score range is 0-35 (asymptomatic very severe symptoms). So far, there is no established standard to classify the symptoms of patients into three categories: mild, moderate, and severe. The following criteria can be temporarily used to classify the symptoms:

1-7=mild symptoms
8-19=moderate symptoms
20-35=severe symptoms
Other: Urinary pressure measurement, serum prostate specific antigen, imaging examination, and lower urinary tract endoscopy. Benign prostatic hyperplasia can cause difficulty urinating. In addition, it can also interfere with the daily life of patients, such as reducing water intake before going out, reducing water intake before going to bed, insufficient sleep at night, restricting access to public places lacking public toilets, and restricting participation in outdoor activities.
