One of the clinical manifestations of BPH is Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS). To determine the degree of severity of these symptoms can be measured using the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) questionnaire. This study aims to determine the relationship between prostate volume and the degree of IPSS in BPH patients with LUTS at the Urology Polyclinic of Tabanan Hospital. Sampling using consecutive sampling technique with the type of observational analytic research with cross-sectional techniques obtained as many as 40 respondents. The data obtained were analyzed univariately and bivariately using the gamma corelations test method with a 95% confidence level (p <0.05) using SPSS 25.0. The results obtained are as follows: there is a significant relationship between prostate volume and the degree of LUTS (p = 0.006) with the strength of the relationship in the strong category (r = 0.618). The conclusion is that prostate volume and IPSS degree have a significant relationship.]]>
