Took Treatment For Chronic Prostatis, Persisting Pelvic Pain, Urinary Discomfort. Partner Has Vaginal Discomfort. Possible Causes?

Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have chronic Prostatitis since 7 years.and have been taking antibiotics intermittently for same .
Your wife has also acquired infection through sexual intercourse.
I Assume that the diagnosis of Chronic Prostatitis has been confirmed after you have undergone basic investigations like Ultrasound scanning ,Urine culture ,tests for STD,and opinion of qualified Urologist .
Chronic prostatitis is very difficult to get eradicated completely and long time to get cured as bacterial flora change their nature very frequently.
I would suggest you to get culture and sensitivity of a drop of discharge ( fluid) obtained after doing prostatic massage to find out the organisms responsible for this infection and antibiotics to which they are sensitive to.So that you can take appropriate antibiotic to combat infection.This can be obtained by doing prostatic massage for which you may have to take help of your family Physician.
Regular prostatic massage will help to some extent .(This is what I practice routinely in my practice for my patients since many years and getting satisfactory results) This can be done at home with the help of your partner.
Both of you have to take treatment simultaneously under observation of a qualified Urologist.
Hope I have answered your query.
Please feel free to ask if you have any more questions I shall be happy to help you.
Thanks with Regards.
