This study aims to compare and correlate the novel Visual Prostate Symptom Score (VPSS) with International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) questionnaire and uroflowmetry parameters in Indonesian men who visited Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital. Male patients older than 45 years who visited Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital between February 2014 and August 2015 with LUTS were evaluated with Indonesian version of the IPSS, VPSS, uroflowmetry and transabdominal ultrasound. Appropriate statistical analysis was employed. Of all subjects, 24.2% and 11.1% require assistance when answering IPSS and VPSS questionnaires respectfully. The mean age, IPSS total score, VPSS total score, Q-max, voided volume, and post void residual volume were 67.4 ± 8.9 years, 13.4 ± 7.8, 10.8 ± 2.7, 13.6 ± 8.6 mL/sec, 248 ± 136 ml, and 54.9 ± 68.3 ml respectively. Total IPSS, IPSS quality of life (QoL), IPSS question (Q) 2, IPSS Q7, and IPSS Q5, were significantly correlated with total VPSS, VPSS QoL, VPSS Q1, VPSS Q2, and VPSS Q3 (correlation coefficient (r) P-value: 0.57,
