Talk:Chemical castration
Chemical castration is the administration of medication
- "medication" is to treat illness: "chemical castration" deliberately destroys delicate hormonal balances
designed to
- NOT "designed to" - these chemicals have a SIDE EFFECT of producing certain changes in the bodies hormonal system
reduce libido and sexual activity.
- NO - they seriously DISRUPT normal hormonal activity, with innumerable OTHER "side effects" or SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES for health
Unlike surgical castration, where the testicles or ovaries are removed through an incision
where the testicles ... are removed through an incision
- Historically not correct. I don't know "state of the art" methods
where the ... ovaries are removed through an incision
- "Castration" of females? I believe that is not a correct description.
in the body,[1] chemical castration does not actually castrate the person, nor is it a form of sterilization.[2] [3]
- It interferes with the normal expression of hormones by seriously disrupting the body's chemical balances.
Chemical castration is generally considered reversible when usage is discontinued,
- The "side effects" may be permanent. Ceasing the drugs allows the body to repair some of the damage done to the hormonal system.
although permanent effects in body chemistry can sometimes be seen,
- sometimes? or OFTEN? or USUALLY?
as in the case of bone density loss increasing with length of use of Depo Provera.
- How about the growth of breast tissue in males? And other physical changes such as loss of body hair, changes in hip shape, etc. etc.
And on and on with errors, omissions, etc. in the article.
This BoyWiki article is bullshit. Sorry to say that. Or, rather, as with other articles: So common to say that...
