Best pelvic floor release/stretch routine for male CPPS/hypertonic pelvic floor?

Text:
24M. I’ve been dealing with chronic burning during urination for years, but after a recent flare things escalated badly: urgency, weak/interrupted stream, feeling like I can’t empty properly, perineal pressure, occasional urethral mucus, and pelvic spasms.

Cultures and tests have mostly been negative so far, and a lot of people are pointing me toward a hypertonic pelvic floor / CPPS type issue rather than infection.

The biggest clues:

walking improves symptoms a lot
sitting worsens them
caffeine/Monster makes urgency much worse
first urination in the morning is usually the weakest
pushing to pee makes the stream cut off even more

I’m specifically looking for:
pelvic floor release exercises
reverse kegel routines
stretches that actually helped
breathing techniques
anything that reduced urinary urgency and weak stream

I’m 24 years old and since I was 14 I’ve had pain when urinating. What initially seemed like a urinary infection at a young age turned into something that still affects me to this day.
I’ve seen more than 5 urologists and none of them have given me a clear solution. I learned to live with it because the pain wasn’t constant — sometimes I would have a lot of pain when peeing, and other times it would improve as I continued urinating.
Over the years I’ve experienced:
Small blood clots in my urine
Occasional yellow urethral discharge (especially in the mornings)
Drops of blood coming from the tip of my penis
Burning after ejaculation or sometimes during ejaculation
In the last two weeks things have gotten much worse. The pain has been unbearable. It feels like there’s a tennis ball pressing in the area between my anus and testicles. I also have a burning sensation in my anus and in that same area. I get cramps, constant urge to urinate, and the feeling that I can’t fully empty my bladder.
One important thing I’ve noticed is that when I’m walking or at the gym, the pelvic pain tends to decrease. However, I still have pain when I urinate. The burning and cramps are not always constant, but every time I go to the bathroom, it still hurts to pee.
I’ve had multiple tests done (kidneys, bladder, exams, urine cultures) and everything comes back negative. However, urine tests often show the presence of leukocytes.
Out of desperation, I started researching and many of my symptoms seem to match CPPS. I started taking 1600 mg of quercetin + bromelain 4 days ago, but I haven’t noticed any improvement yet. Ibuprofen and paracetamol barely help.
This is really affecting me mentally and I feel desperate at this point.

Has anyone experienced something similar or found something that actually helped?
