castration
Castration is a surgical or medical procedure that involves the removal or inactivation of the testes in males or ovaries in females. This process results in the loss of sexual function, reproduction ability, and the reduction or elimination of sex hormones in the body. This procedure is often used for birth control in animals or as a treatment for certain medical conditions in humans.
Webster Dictionary
Castrationnoun
the act of castrating
Etymology: [L. castratio; cf. F. castration.]

Castration
Castration is any action, surgical, chemical or otherwise, by which a biological male loses use of the testes. This causes sterilization, i.e. prevents them from reproducing; it also greatly reduces the production of certain hormones, such as testosterone. The term "castration" is sometimes also used to refer to the removal of the ovaries in the female, otherwise known as an oophorectomy or, in animals, spaying. The estrogen that the females produce becomes obsolete with this surgical procedure. The procedure may be purposely performed on humans variously as a punishment, or to decrease the libido of sex offenders. In animals, castration is intended for favouring a given desired development of the animal or of its habits, or preventing overpopulation.
U.S. National Library of Medicine
Castration
Surgical removal or artificial destruction of gonads.
