Chemical Castration: What is it? Aims, Operation, Drugs and Effects

Born as a treatment for hormone-dependent tumors (eg: prostate cancer), chemical castration is now known to most people above all because, in various countries of the world (not Italy), it is used as a form of punishment for crimes against the background sexual.
Currently, the drugs most used to achieve chemical castration are: anti-gonadotropins, non-steroidal anti-androgens and gonadotropin releasing hormone agonists.
In addition to the decline in libido, chemical castration reduces sexual fantasies, sexual arousal capacity as well as a number of unpleasant side effects, in both men and women.
