Turn priorities into a better BPH conversation.
Answer seven short questions. The output identifies treatment lanes and missing information—not a diagnosis, candidacy decision, score, or “best option.”
First, is anything urgent happening now?
This educational tool is for stable symptoms, not emergencies or rapidly worsening illness.
Stop the navigator and seek prompt medical care.
Inability to urinate, fever or chills with urinary symptoms, heavy blood or clots, severe pain, confusion, or rapid deterioration can require urgent same-day or emergency evaluation. Contact a clinician or emergency service appropriate to the severity.
How complete is the evaluation?
A diagnosis label alone is not enough to choose a procedure.
What is the measured prostate volume?
Volume does not tell the whole story, but it changes which techniques are realistic and how mature the evidence is.
Is there a middle lobe or intravesical protrusion?
A middle lobe can create a ball-valve obstruction and can change implant placement, treatment mapping, and evidence boundaries.
Which symptom pattern is most disruptive?
This does not diagnose the cause. It flags when bladder or nighttime-fluid evaluation may matter as much as opening the prostate.
Which tradeoffs matter most?
Choose all that apply. The map will show tensions rather than pretending every priority can be maximized at once.
What has already been tried?
Prior response can clarify whether a lower-burden path is still useful or whether the decision has moved toward an anatomic treatment.
