Suggest Treatment For Enlarged Prostate And Frequent Urination

I have an enlarged prostate and have more frequent urination than normal. I do take medications like Avodart and flomax. Lately I have experienced periods of pain and stinging at the tip of the penis, as if there were some sort of kidney stones that are stuck there and even when I urinate the pain is still there. What do you think this might be and what can be done about it
