Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted history about your boyfriend getting 3 courses of antibiotics for urinary tract infection.
Now has prostitits and inflammation of testes. This may be due to infection.
I would advise you the following.
-Go to the hospital immediately.
Tests of blood, urine routine, microscopy , culture and sensitivity.
Ultrasonography and color Doppler of abdomen and scrotum.
Intensive antibiotic therapy is needed and rest of the treatment as per the findings on clinical evaluation and tests reports will help pepper diagnosis and treatment.
I find this answer helpful
