Hello
Thanks for query .
Based on the facts that you have posted the symptoms that you have are due to infection of prostate secondary to enlarged prostate and need to reevaluate.
Consult qualified Urologist for clinical and digital rectal examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis
3) Serum PSA.
Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis .
In the meantime start taking antibiotics like Cefexime and Nitrofurantoin twice daily along with alpha blockers like Tomsulosin once daily .
Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions,I shall be happy to help you
Thanks and Regards.
