In a recent development, King Charles is set to undergo a procedure to address an enlarged prostate, which, though not deeply invasive, will require an extended period of bedrest for the monarch's full recovery.
Professor Damien Bolton, Vice President of the Urological Society of Australia and New Zealand, shed light on the nature of the procedure, emphasizing its minimally invasive approach, with no skin incisions typically involved.
Contrary to initial expectations, the recovery period for King Charles is now projected to be more prolonged, as medical experts advise up to 14 days of bedrest post-hospitalisation.
The monarch is expected to spend two nights in the hospital before transitioning to a home-based recovery phase.
During this time, although absent from public appearances, King Charles may engage in administrative work from the comfort of his own home. This strategic approach aims to ensure a seamless continuation of essential duties while prioritizing the monarch's health.
Addressing the medical condition that prompted the procedure, Professor Bolton highlighted the challenges faced by King Charles in urination, citing potential concerns such as infections and the risk of prostate cancer.
Symptoms such as a sudden and urgent need to urinate, straining or slow flow while urinating, and frequent nighttime trips to the bathroom raised concerns, prompting the medical intervention.
