Hello Dear.
It looks like your husband is having a condition called benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). The best option for him is to undergo a surgery called Trans urethral resection of prostate (TURP). That may solve his urinary symptoms. Regarding COPD, if he is a smoker, he has to strictly give up smoking and eat nutritious food to improve body immunity. Bevespi Aerosphere is very good for patients with COPD. U can contact your pulmonary doctor and get evaluated by undergoing X ray, CT scan, bronchoscopy, biopsy etc to see if there is any other complication. If not, then the same treatment can be continued as prescribed by the doctor.
Hope i have answered your question. Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. I ll be glad to help you.
All the best
With warm regards
