Has he been taking the medications as they're directed? The number one reason why patients don't get better is because they don't take their medication correctly (or they don't take it at all). If he is taking all three medications, and taking them correctly, then the urologist is the best person to speak with. If he or you are not happy with the urologist that he's seeing, seek a second opinion.
Best of luck,
