Castration of people is a medical operation consisting in anatomical or functional impact on the human genital organs, the purpose of which is to prevent natural fertilization.
Distinguish between partial and complete castration.Partial castration of people leads to the cessation of just one of the functions - generative or endocrine, with complete castration, these two functions cease to function. Today, medicine practices several types of this operation.
Surgical castration of a human
This type of surgery is performed in both men and women in the following cases.
- In men, these are malignant neoplasmsprostate and testicles, as well as their extensive trauma. After castration in the body of a man grows a hair covering, spreading on his body by a female type, there is atrophy of the prostate gland, and sexual desire is reduced.
- In women, surgical castration is performed withmalignant neoplasm of the ovaries, uterus, vagina, vulva and mammary glands. This is the removal of the ovaries by performing radiation therapy. Such an operation is performed only in those women who have not yet reached the menopause period and who have it for medical purposes.
Radiation castration of people is aimed at repressionhormonal and reproductive function of the gonads. It is performed both in women who are exposed to the ovaries, and in men (irradiate the testicles). Indications for such castration in women can be uterine cancer, as well as symptoms of uterine fibroids, which are accompanied by bleeding. Carry out the procedure and in cases where surgical intervention is impossible.
Castration of people by hormonal therapy is also used if the surgical method is contraindicated. Indication: in women with uterine bleeding in late menopause or menopause.
Chemical castration of man
This is an original alternative to surgicalcastration, but, unlike it, it does not pose a danger to the physical and mental health of a person. This type of exposure to childbearing organs is most often used to punish men for crimes of a sexual nature (especially against children). In this case, the sexual function is suppressed by special medications: a drug containing testosterone is injected in a modified form. This leads to an almost complete reduction in the production of male seed. As a result, the male hormone is almost not produced, which, in turn, leads to a decrease in sexual function.
Recently in many countries the chemicalCastration began to be applied, as already mentioned, with the goal of punishment. For example, the US state of Virginia is quite a terrible measure, which is used to "teach" pedophiles. And the chemical castration of a guy happens regardless of his consent.
It is worth noting that all types of this processcause a certain set of symptoms associated with the end of the endocrine gland function. The older the individual, the harder he tolerates them.
