King Charles discharged from hospital after prostate surgery

King Charles, aged 75, has been discharged from the private London Clinic after a three-night stay for medical care following treatment for an enlarged prostate.

Buckingham Palace announced that the King, accompanied by the Queen, would now have a "period of private recuperation."

Camilla, who had visited the King daily during his hospitalisation, arrived ahead of his discharge.

The King's corrective procedure for the benign condition has prompted him to reschedule upcoming public engagements, and reports suggest he may take up to a month off from official duties to recover.

The Palace expressed gratitude for the medical team's support and thanked well-wishers for their kind messages.

Charles was diagnosed with the condition on January 17 during a check-up at Birkhall in Scotland.

His decision to share the news aims to encourage other men to prioritize health check-ups.

The NHS reported a surge in visits to the "enlarged prostate" webpage, indicating heightened awareness.

While an enlarged prostate typically doesn't pose a serious threat, men over 50 should be vigilant about symptoms.

Treatment options range from medication to various procedures, depending on the severity of symptoms.

The King's openness about his health contributes to public health awareness, emphasizing the importance of regular check-ups for men.
