Urinary symptoms were recorded by the International Prostate Symptom Score according to the American Urological Association (I-PSS), the influence on quality of life has been recorded by a quality of life questionnaire (LQ Index).

RESULTS

The I-PSS decreased by 41.4%, life quality improved by 46. 1% during therapy. More than 96% of the patients reported no undesired side effects under the treatment with Prosta Fink Forte.
