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

Content: Boys with untreated undescended testicles are 3 to 14 times more likely to develop testicular cancer than the general population. In Australia, 1 in 650 males is born with Klinefelter syndrome. In the USA, 1 in 500 to 1,000 males has an extra sex chromosome. Boys with genetic disorders affecting their sex chromosomes and testicles, like Klinefelter syndrome, are more likely to develop cancer. Sometimes, doctors recommend orchiectomy to prevent the development of testicular cancer in affected boys. Sports trauma rarely results in orchiectomy, probably because of jock strap protection and the testiclesÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ mobility. For example, there areÃ‚Â 100,000 Australian rugby players, and over a 16-year reporting period, only 14 players required complete or partial orchiectomy. What are the signs and symptoms of genital cancer? Most men discover cancer in their testicles through self-examination, but doctors also find many early cases as part of a routine physical examination. It usually first appears as a hard, painless, irregularly shaped lump.
