Les dangers de la castration...
Consentement éclairé!
Stérilisation, castration, gonadectomie...

La castration, = gonadectomie = ablation chirurgicale des gonades (testicules, ovaires), est banalisée depuis des dizaines d'années. Elle est réalisée pour em

pêcher la reproduction (=stérilisation). Elle est souvent réalisée pour prévenir des affections (cancer mammaire) et modifier des comportements sexuels gênants (chevauchement sexuel, marquage urinaire, copulation).
Pourtant la gonadectomie n'est pas sans conséquences négatives ni sans danger pour la santé physique et mentale du chien.
La gonadectomie est tellement délétère que la WSAVA a proposé fin 2024 de nouvelles directives, et que des pays de plus en plus nombreux l'interdisent, en tant que maltraitance.

Toutes les informations ci-dessous ont été publiées, avec les références des articles scientifiques, dans mon livre numérique (Kindle) : La stérilisation du chien. Pour ou contre ? I'M éditions, Kindle Amazon, janvier 2017. 95 pages.

Effets comportementaux de la gonadectomie

Les % sont des données statistiques.
Comportements sexuels : marquage urinaire, chevauchements, copulation, masturbation : réduction importante chez 35% des chiens, réduction partielle à nulle chez 65% des chiens.
Victime de harcèlement sexuel : le chien mâle castré attire sexuellement les chiens mâles intacts, la chienne ovariectomisée souffre souvent de vulvite, vaginite, dermite périvulvaire, qui engendre des odeurs à attrait sexuel.
Agressivité (en général) : +30% (augmentation statistique de 30%)
Agressivité envers les humains non-familiers : +20 à 30%
Agressivité envers les humains familiers : +200% à +300%
Agressivité envers les enfants : +400%
Agression entre chiennes en chaleurs : réduction possible de récidive.
Coprophagie : +60%
Démence sénile : plus précoce, évolution plus rapide
Léchage des objets / gens: +30%
Léchage de soi-même: autoléchage: +40 à +50%
Mendicité alimentaire : +30 à 60%
Peurs: +30 à 70%
Peur de l'orage: +400% (étude chez le Vizsla)
Sensibilité au contact : +200% ; chez le Rottweiler: +460%
Vocalisations: +30%

Effets organiques / physiopathologiques de la gonadectomie

Les % sont des données statistiques.
Obésité : +150% (chienne) à +300% (mâle)
Mamelles : cancer : réduit (% variable)
Vagin, vulve: vaginite, vulvite, infection périvulvaire: augmenté
Vessie : cystite: +300% (chienne)
Prostate: hyperplasie bénigne et inflammation: réduction
Prostate: cancer : +400 à 800%
Vessie, rein: urolithiase: à struvite : +300% (chienne)
Vessie: incontinence urinaire (chienne): +1000% à 3000%
Pancréas: pancréatite: +2200% (chienne)
Diabète: +200% (mâle)
Thyroïde: hypothyroïdie: +300% (réf.)
Os, articulations : effet de la gonadectomie réalisée avant l'âge adulte: +300 à 500%
Dysplasie de la hanche : +200%
Ligaments croisés (du genou): distension ou rupture: + 200%
Rotule, luxation de la: +300%
Cancers: en moyenne +300 à +500% sauf cancer mammaire: réduit.
Ostéosarcome: +220 à 400%
Hémangiosarcome (rate, cœur): +160% (mâle) à +500% à +900% (chienne)
Lymphosarcome: +250% (mâle) à 500% (chienne)
Cancer de la peau: mastocytome, etc.: +300 à 600%
Carcinome de la vessie : +300%
Métrite, pyomètre: réduit, supprimé si hystérectomie.

Pourquoi la gonadectomie cause-t-elle autant de pathologies ?
Les scientifiques ne savent pas encore…
Mon hypothèse : tentative de sauvetage hormonal par synthèse d'hormones sexuelles par le foie, la graisse viscérale, les surrénales (et autres tissus), avec rupture de l'équilibre entre cette vingtaine d'hormones sexuelles, dont production d'hormones cancérigènes.
En plus, dérégulation des organes (dont les cellules ont des récepteurs aux hormones sexuelles) : neurologie, immunologie, endocrinologie.
Par exemple : importance des oestrogène pour la mémorisation, modification de l'humeur et des émotions par les hormones sexuelles.
Par exemple, l’importance de la testostérone pour l’activité de l’enzyme déiodinase-1 qui convertit T4 en T3 au niveau tissulaire, entraînant, par manque de testostérone, une hypothyroïdie fonctionnelle.

Alternatives à la gonadectomie

Réduction / suppression des comportements sexuels :
• Implant desloréline : occasionnel
• Cyprotérone par cures occasionnelles de 6 semaines

Stérilisation chirurgicale, avec maintien des hormones sexuelles :
• Vasectomie (mâle)
• Hystérectomie (chienne)

Toute chirurgie :
déconseillée avant l'âge adulte, trop stressante et effets épigénétiques désatreux pendant l'adolescence

Gonadectomie chirurgicale
Déconseillée avant l'âge adulte
Déconseillée chez les races à risque de cancer
Conseillée chez les races à risque de cancer mammaire
Déconseillée chez les chiens peureux, anxieux
Déconseillée chez les races à risque d'hypothyroïdie (thyroïdite autoimmune génétique)
