Renowned musician King Charles is set to undergo a corrective procedure for an enlarged prostate, a common condition affecting numerous men globally.

The surgery, scheduled for this week, is deemed crucial in the medical realm.

Professor Damian Bolton, Vice President of the Urological Society of Australia and New Zealand, delved into the intricacies and prevalence of such interventions, highlighting their minimally invasive nature and high occurrence rate annually.

It is estimated that approximately 25,000 of these procedures are conducted each year, as noted by Professor Bolton.

Following the upcoming surgery, King Charles is expected to observe an extended period of bed rest to facilitate his recovery.

The medical team overseeing his case will likely recommend a brief hospital stay of 1-2 nights, followed by a recovery phase spanning 10-14 days within the comfort of his home.

Post-operative care is crucial to ensure a smooth and complete recuperation process.

During this period, the musician will be advised to refrain from strenuous activities and opt for a more relaxed approach, even if engaging in light tasks at home.

Professor Bolton outlined potential changes in urination patterns that individuals with an enlarged prostate may experience post-surgery.

These include a sudden urge to urinate, difficulties or delays during urination, and frequent nighttime awakenings to urinate.

In severe instances, patients may face urinary retention, necessitating immediate medical attention, according to the expert.

While an enlarged prostate, infection, and prostate cancer are among the most prevalent prostate-related issues, Professor Bolton stressed that one condition does not necessarily lead to another.
