Share your experience of living with an enlarged prostate
We’re inviting men across Scotland living with benign prostate enlargement (BPE) also called an enlarged prostate, to take part in a national research project.
The aim of the research is to build one of the clearest pictures to date of what it’s really like to live with BPE in Scotland.
We want to hear about your experience – from recognising symptoms and seeking help, through diagnosis, treatment and support, to the wider impact the condition has on your everyday life.
Why your experiences matter
By taking part in this research, you can be a ‘force for good’ and use your experience to help us improve Prostate Scotland’s information and support for men living with BPE.
Your voice will be heard in our final report, which will be shared with NHS Scotland, the Scottish Government and other organisations to help shape future services.
Who can take part?
You can take part if you live in Scotland and have been diagnosed with benign prostate enlargement (BPE).
What’s involved?
The survey takes around 10-15 minutes to complete. It is anonymous and completely voluntary. You can stop at any time if you decide not to continue.
