King Charles' prostate

Surprised no thread yet.

BBC News - King Charles to be treated for benign prostate condition
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-68010563

Good on them for being open about it.

Yep

Are you going to tell us what allegedly happened at the end of December?

Normal practice for when the monarch is admitted to hospital/ Stops speculation.

Normal stay for the likely prostate procedures is between 1 and 3 nights. IIRC, they need to check that you are peeing OK before they let you out.

Well apparently the NHS page on prostate enlargement has received a 60% increase in visits since the King announced this on Wednesday and Prostate Cancer UK received 2754 visits compared to 1703 on the same day the previous week. So if the intention was to raise awareness that this can happen to anyone, it appears to be working

That's really good 👍

No time to read all the posts but do we know yet who “they” are who - allegedly- went through M’s medical records ? Are they now in jail ?

Same ones who - allegedly - took her passport and car keys. It's not known if they gave a sinister laugh and said 'You won't be needing THESE any more, my pretty!' as they left the room.

Yet she was still able to go on holiday.....

Echoes of Charlene here, just before she had to marry Prince Wassisssname of Monaco.

Reported today that he's gone in for the procedure

Maybe we'll get an update later today on how it went

Best wishes to Charles today and wish him a speedy recovery.

He'll be fine but ouch it's painful. Catheterised for a time, then urge incontinence. But it passes

BBC have just announced that Charles has cancer - though apparently not of the prostate

Yes discovered while they treated it. His prostate has done him a favour I guess.
