Brief Answer:
Need to consult qualified Urologist to rule out Enlarged Prostate

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for query .
Based on the facts that you have posted frequency for urination at night (Nocturia) ,painful ejaculation that you have is most likely to be due to Benign Enlargement of Prostate which is common at this age .

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.
4) Uroflowmetry

Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis.
