Surgical castration
Surgical castration is a medical procedure where the testicles are removed, typically performed on male animals or humans to eliminate natural hormone production and reproductive capability. It is commonly used to control breeding, reduce aggressive behavior, or prevent certain health issues. The procedure involves making an incision in the scrotum, removing the testicles, and then closing the wound. Recovery usually involves some pain management and limited activity during healing. While primarily used in veterinary contexts, it is also performed in humans for medical or personal reasons, always under professional medical supervision.
