He was probably still sedated when she visited him post-op so it makes sense she would want to visit again now that he has woken up.

We will never know but due to his age, he may well have had a nerve block for the procedure.

it’s a bit safer, less chance of side effects.

Usually there is also a sedative / analgesic administered. Much like you get for a colonoscopy.

His procedure is not a major surgery. The surgeons want to sure he doesn't develop urinary retention, blood clots in the bladder, or persistent bleeding, which might require monitoring or possibly re-admission if he had been discharged.

Plus, one will always err on the side of caution in a 75 year old who also happens to be the King.

LONDON — Kate, the Princess of Wales, and King Charles III were both discharged from a private London clinic on Monday after procedures.

The princess was released from the hospital nearly two weeks after undergoing planned abdominal surgery. The king underwent a “corrective procedure” for an enlarged prostate and was hospitalized over the weekend.

“The King was this afternoon discharged from hospital following planned medical treatment and has rescheduled forthcoming public engagements to allow for a period of private recuperation,” Buckingham Palace said in a statement on Monday...

With respect for His Majesty, The King's wish to improve awareness of prostate health issues:

Here are comments about post-op care for Transurethral Resection of the Prostate ( TURP). This is the most common procedure, although there are other similar or modified procedures that His Majestly may have received.

"It will take 6 weeks from the date of surgery to fully recovery from your operation. This can be divided into two parts -- the first 2 weeks and the last 4 weeks. During the first 2 weeks from the date of your surgery, it is important to be "a person of leisure"

King Charles III has cancer."His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties," a statement from Buckingham Palace read.

The palace did not specify what form of cancer was diagnosed or at what stage it was found.

I know we shouldn't speculate too much but if it was found during his prostate surgery and it's not prostate cancer then I'd go for testicular.

Prince Harry will fly to London after King's cancer diagnosis

The Duke of Sussex will soon be leaving California for Britain but it is not yet clear if his wife Meghan Markle or their children Archie, four, and Lilibet, two, will come with him.
www.dailymail.co.uk www.dailymail.co.uk

Considering everything that tells me possibly it could be serious :(

Sad !!
At his age... this is not good news.
Hoping for a full recovery for King Charles.

I am very sorry to hear about HM King Charles III’s diagnosis. He and the Royal Family are in my thoughts and prayers. I’m pleased to see it is being reported that Prince Harry is flying over to the UK in the next few days. I hope Catherine, Princess of Wales is recovering well from her surgery. It must be a very stressful time for her, William, Prince of Wales and all of the royal family.

Hello gregrichards - It's nice to see your name on the boards again.

Although, clearly with concerning news about His Majesty, The King's health.

The King has Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Princess Catherine to be his strength and his confidants.

I hope Harry's visit is brief.
