What is male castration?
Other reasons castration is performed include to:

Content: A boy with undescended testicles (retained in his abdomen instead of moving down into his scrotum)Ã‚Â is at risk of developing cancer if they are left in place. Other reasons castration is performed include to: Stanch bleeding or remove dead tissue when the testicles have been traumatized by force, sports, radiation, workplace chemical exposure, or cancer chemotherapy
Remove a serious infection, such as gangrene or Ã¯Â¬â€šesh-eating disease (necrotizing fasciitis)
Treat testicular torsion
Correct orchitis or infarct, complications that can occur 2 or 3 days after an inguinal hernia repair
Treat a rare form of tuberculosis
Treat infarction of the testicles from a rare vascular condition, polyarteritis nodosa (PAN)
Make a hermaphrodite child, who has ambiguous sex organs, distinctly female
Allow the female hormones given to a male-to-female transsexual to work more quickly, or as a cheaper alternative to expensive, difÃ¯Â¬Âcult vaginoplasty
Offer a voluntary, rehabilitative alternative to long-term incarceration for repeat sex offenders who want help to control their urges
Follow religious, social and wartime practices
What are the statistics? Cancer of the prostate gland is the second most frequent cancer affecting men, after skin cancer. One in every 9 Australian men will develop prostate cancer. There are 18,700 new cases of prostate cancer every year in Australia, and 3,000 of those men will die of it. There areÃ‚Â 230,110 cases of prostate cancer every year in the U.S.A. and 29,900 will die of it. Your chances of developing prostate cancer increase as you age, from 1 in every 1,000 men in their forties, to 80 in every 1,000 men in their seventies. Testicular torsion (twisting testes from bell clapper deformity) occurs in 4.5 cases per 100,000 American males per year aged 1 to 25,Ã‚Â so it is more prevalent than testicular cancer. An orchiectomy is required inÃ‚Â 34% of cases, usually because young boys are too shy to seek treatment for an acutely painful groin.
