Next week, King Charles III will check into a hospital to receive treatment for an enlarged prostate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Buckingham Palace, the King will have a “corrective procedure” even though his ailment is benign. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 75-year-old’s public appearances will be delayed while he recovers, the palace announced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The news was made not long after it was made public that the Princess of Wales is recovering in a hospital following stomach surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In common with thousands of men each year, The King has sought treatment for an enlarged prostate,” the statement said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Benign prostate enlargement – which is non-cancerous – is common in men over 50 and is not usually a serious condition, according to the NHS\u00a0website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It can cause symptoms and issues, such as difficulties passing urine or emptying the bladder, but generally poses no major risk to health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The type of corrective procedure the King will have is not known, although there are a few options for treating it, such as lasers, surgery, and even steam treatments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The statement made by Buckingham Palace on Wednesday was the second relevant piece of information regarding senior royals’ health to surface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Following Tuesday’s abdominal surgery, the Princess of Wales may need to stay in the hospital for up to two weeks to recuperate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Senior royal health information is rarely made public, thus the simultaneous release of two updates about two different individuals on the same day is striking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Follow Save Britain for more updates. <\/em><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Next week, King Charles III will check into a hospital to receive treatment for an enlarged prostate.
