The palace said his condition was benign, and said on Friday that the king was “delighted to learn that his diagnosis has had a positive impact on public health awareness.”

No further updates on the king's treatment were expected, and it was unclear how long he would remain in hospital or away from work during his recovery period.

“Like thousands of men every year, the King has sought treatment for an enlarged prostate,” Buckingham Palace said in its initial statement announcing the unspecified “corrective action” last week. She said his public engagements “will be postponed for a short period to recover.”

More than one in three British men will experience some problem with an enlarged prostate in their lifetime, and the condition is usually associated with aging, according to the National Health Service in Britain.

The NHS says on its website: “It is not known why the prostate enlarges as you age, but it is not caused by cancer and does not increase your risk of prostate cancer.”
