King Charles' upcoming surgery for an enlarged prostate is expected to motivate more Australian men to seek testing for the condition.
The 75-year-old monarch's ailment, which is benign according to Buckingham Palace, has already driven a spike in checks in the UK after the news broke last week.
"The King's decision to share his medical diagnosis is a timely reminder for men to talk about the importance of checking prostate health and taking action," Urological Society of Australia and New Zealand vice president Damien Bolton said on Monday.
