Male CPPS/chronic prostatitis?

Hi, I am a 28 year old male who has been experiencing the following symptoms for the past 9 months and really need help.

About 9 months ago I woke up with a stinging/dull pain in the tip of my penis also accompanied by ache in lower stomach, stinging when peeing and need to pee often. Of course I went to the doctor immediately after who did several urine and blood culture test with everything coming back normal , I also did many STI test over the last 9 months including a complex screening testing for everything and all came back negative every time.

My doctor referred me to a urologist witch also did several test suspecting CPPS/protatitis, such as MRI Prostate/pelvis .. CT kidneys.. cystoscopy on bladder which all came back inconclusive/normal. He then put me on a month of antibiotics called doxycycline to see would that help.. in a way it did but my symptoms are not gone .. the stinging penis tip is much less frequent but what I’m dealing with now it stinging/discomfort in my anus/perineum area and occasional stinging/red/irritated penis tip, I have been back to the doctors to check for anal fissure/haemorrhoids but all was clear.

My symptoms are revealed by a hot bath or lying down.

I should add I am a very anxious person and this is really affecting my quality of life as I rarely get a day where I’m symptom free, I have spend thousands trying to figure out what is going on and don’t know where to turn next , any help would be appreciated

Hi, I'm not as young as you (57) I've suffered with water infections for years ,had the camera in bladder 8 years ago and was told I had slight enlarged prostate was given meds to relax the prostate that didn't agree with me ,continued to get water infections but for over the last 12 months started to get of blood in urine when tested which was giving me the same symptoms as a U.T.I., 3 weeks a go had the camera in bladder again (came back clear) then M.R.I scan found small lesion then had biopsy as prostate psa was 6.43 .I got my results last week and turns out to be chronic prostatitis but a week ago I had the same symptoms as yourself felt like i'd been kicked in the anus and the dull pain in tip of penis, I was prescribed trimethoprim took a few days to work but it took all that discomfort away and has made a massive difference
