A new scoring system is presented for use in patients with uncomplicated benign prostatic hyperplasia. The system is based on the patients' information on the magnitude of twelve symptoms related to bladder and voiding function (symptom score), and three questions related to sexual function. Furthermore the patients are asked to grade the impact of these symptoms on their daily lives (bother score). Multiplication of the two scores related to bladder and voiding function gives the total score. The score related to sexual function is used only for comparing the situation before and after treatment. The new patient weighted total score may assist in creating a solid base for the indication for and evaluation of surgical and non-surgical treatment of uncomplicated benign prostatic hyperplasia.
