Have Chronic Prostatitis. Acute Pain, Urine Frequency, Bad Flow Of Urine. Taken Cipro. Help

Doctor

I am 63 years old man and live in Canada.I have chronic Postatitis and have undergone TURP twice in the last three years. Inspite that I am badly suffering from accute pain, urine frequency and bad flow of urine including recurring urine infection. I have to get up atleast 6 times during the night. I am regularly on various antibiotics like Cipro, Levofloxacin, Macrobid, Kafelex, ammoxcillin etc but not getting well. My urologist says that it is hard to treat chronic prostatitis. I am very much in trouble uncomfortable all the time.
I will be obliged if you can help me and to get rid of this big problem as I am in great trouble.

Thanks in advance
