prostate

Hi, I am a 49 year old male.  For about 2 years now I have been having prostate issues. The symptoms vary in their severity but here they are.  I urinate about 20 -25 times a day including 3-4 during bedtime hours. My urine can get very yellow a lot of the time and urination is painful quite often.  The tip of my penis gets very sensitive sometimes and I have pain in my perinium and anus . I  notice that when I participate in a sporting activity or I sit too long, I might see some blood in my urine.  I have been checked out by two doctors who told me I have prostatitis. Ejaculation and defication can bring me great relief but also I will very often have pain in my perineum several hours later. I have read the book - A Headache in the Pelvis thoroughly and I practise their excercises religiously every day-- to no avail. I was on antibiotics for 6 months last year (3 different ones including Cipro) but nothing helped.  I am having a very tough time with this situation, any suggestions-- should I worry about prostate cancer. Thank You
