Hi,
Cipro is good antibiotic medicine for this type of infection.
Once antibiotic medicine start working you will feel better.
Go for long course of this antibiotic.
Take plenty of water as well.
At this age possibility of having prostate enlargement or prostatitis should be ruled out.
Ok and take care.
