Why is castration handled differently for men than for women?
Men are more vocal about their loss of sexual function than women. Men would not be swayed by a doctor who told them that it was stress, the kids, age or normal to lose the ability to experience sexual arousal and orgasm forever. If a man complains about a loss of sexual function and a simple blood test confirms a low testosterone level and he is otherwise healthy, a doctor will work diligently with him to find a comfortable level of hormone replacement to restore sexual function.
