Chemical castration is the use of drugs to reduce sexual desire, and extends for at least three years to five, and supporters say it is a way to prevent sexual abuse of children.

This technique suppresses sex incentives and prevents people from re-attacking children.

Chemotherapy differs from surgical castration, which means permanent removal of the genitals. Chemical fertilization is temporary during the time of drug use.

The technique has been tested in Sweden, Denmark, Canada and Scandinavia, and data suggest that it may reduce the rate of return to child abuse by 5% to 40%.

Leoprorelin and medroxyprogesterone are used to reduce the production of testosterone.

Side effects include osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, depression, hot flashes and anemia.

Some claim to use chemical castration to treat sex offenders.

By the beginning of 2018, a fourth child by a 20-year-old boy at a wedding in Turkey had provoked public anger, making the Turkish judiciary intend to carry out the punishment of child molestation.

"It will leave the courts to determine the cases in which the sentence will be applied and the duration of the sentence, in order to terminate or limit the libido of the perpetrators of this type of crime," Turkish Justice Minister Abdulhamid Gul said.
