King Charles III sought medical treatment for his enlarged prostate at a private hospital in London. The palace stated that the treatment had been scheduled in advance.
The 75-year-old king will get treatment at the London Clinic. His daughter-in-law, the Princess of Wales, is also at the clinic getting better after surgery on her stomach. The king went to see Kate at the hospital when he got there.
“The King went to a hospital in London this morning for treatment that was planned in advance,” the palace said. The King wants to say thank you to everyone who sent their kind messages last week.
Charles, who became king 16 months ago, found out he has a non-cancerous condition in January. 17 after he had symptoms that he did not tell anyone about. He canceled his plans and was encouraged to take a break before the surgery.
The king decided to tell people about his surgery beforehand to encourage men to get their prostates checked, as advised by public health experts.
The king is happy that his illness is helping people be more aware about public health.
The prostate is a small gland that wraps around the tube that carries urine out of the body. When the prostate gets bigger, it can squeeze the tube you pee through and make it harder to go to the bathroom.
The UK’s National Health Service advises men to go to the doctor if they have any issues or differences in their usual urination. Surgery is only advised when a patient has strong symptoms that can’t be fixed with medicine.
Benign prostate enlargement is a common issue in men over 50, and it is usually not a serious health risk, according to the NHS.
Men with enlarged prostates are not at a higher risk for prostate cancer than men without enlarged prostates.
The king’s treatment news came with a lot of other news about royal health in the last 10 days.
The office of the Princess of Wales at Kensington Palace said on January. The princess had an operation on her stomach for a secret health problem. The palace didn’t give more information but said she doesn’t have cancer.
The princess is 42 years old and was known as Kate Middleton before she married Prince William, who will be the next king. She has been in the hospital for 11 days and will be there for about two more weeks, according to the palace.
Even though Kate is usually healthy and active, she had to go to the hospital because she was very sick in the mornings when she was pregnant.
Shortly after Kate went to the hospital, the Duchess of York found out she has a serious skin cancer while she was being treated for breast cancer. The melanoma was discovered after some moles were taken off during surgery to fix her breast.
The duchess is 64 years old and used to be married to Prince Andrew. She is also the mother of Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie. In the past, the newspapers in Britain liked to write about her a lot. Sarah Ferguson, also known as “Fergie,” wrote books for kids and a romance book for grown-ups.
It’s not common for members of the royal family to share their health problems, but they announced Charles and Kate’s conditions to stop people from guessing why they might have to cancel events.
In recent years, there have been many news stories about the health of the older members of the royal family in Britain.
Rumors about Queen Elizabeth II’s health grew as she had trouble getting around and didn’t show up in public as much during the last months of her long reign. After that, the attention turned to Charles, who became the king when most people his age were already retired.
