Chemical castration

Chemical castration is a medical treatment that uses drugs to reduce or eliminate a person's sexual urges and prevent the production of sex hormones like testosterone. It typically involves administering medication that suppresses the testes' ability to produce hormones and sperm, leading to decreased libido and sexual activity. This treatment is often used as a form of behavioral management for certain offenders or in medical contexts, and it is reversible if the medication is stopped. It is not a surgical removal but a hormonal approach to controlling sexual functions.
