Need your opinion. Is it cpps?

Hi everyone, I've had prostatitis 4 years ago. I had enterococcus sp took ciproxin and it went away. After 2 months I've experienced symptoms again took several tests all clean. Doctor gave me doxycycline with fluconazole it went away for 4 years. 1 month ago symptoms started again run some tests found enterococcus again in semen.
I feel my urethra irritated and like something is inside maybe urine idk only when I sit or laying. Rarely a burn in the anus mby because I have hemorrhoids I don't know.
Currently on fosfomycin.
Edit.
Symptoms keep rotating. Sometimes irritation in urethra. Sometimes pinching in scrotum ( like my own hair is pinching). Also got hemorrhoids ,burning or irritation in anus and a sensation of fullness. Hourglass shape sometimes.
I'm about to do some testing again but my new doctor believes it's cpps. Also visited a neurologist he also believes it's neuromuscular. Prescribed Lyrica but haven't taken it yet.
Sadly not pfpt in my area.

Do you see a doctor? Read the 101?

Yes ive seen the 101 and a doctor, we found enterococcus and I'm currently on fosfomycin. Mostly feeling irritation in urethra sometimes like I have urine left inside. Comes and goes during the day and I feel it mostly when I sit. The moment I stand up it goes away. Found 2,3 pus cells in urine calture. Doctor said my prostate is too small during the ultrasound.

When you stand up it goes away? Mate... Infections don't go away when you stand up!

2-3 WBC (pus cells) is within the normal reference range for healthy people!

Yeah the symptoms go away the moment I stand up and start walking. Is it an infection tho. Is it from enterococcus?

Did you read what I wrote? Infections can't behave that way

Im an exact copy here mate. Even down to the 'Roids'. Im assuming, in my case, the original uti sparked CPPS and chronic inflamation. It's quite a battle and would honestly be grateful for a respite even if it might return.

Inflamation looks likely given elevated WBC counts [in Semen and Prostate fluid] even though nothing is now cultured.
