Well, it’s a way to go I guess.

I’d say the way he went about it was pretty irresponsible, now requiring hospitalization that may deprive his family of income, or burden the health care system needlessly.

Not only that, but the lack of testosterone in his body will impact his personality, and may decrease his earning potential or ability to provide for his family.

I wonder if he consulted his wife about the decision to render himself a eunuch. Apparently not — that in and of itself looks like an ethical failing, since his marriage surely entitled her to perhaps change her mind about availing herself of his marital desire later on.

At the very least, he was thoughtless of the potential negative impact on his family, and apparently failed to solicit his wife’s counsel before neutering himself.
