Human women often undergo a procedure called "Tubal Ligation" where the fallopian tubes are severed and tied to prevent egg cells from entering the uterus. It would be the equivalent of a vasectomy in men (which leaves the testes).

An Ovariectomy will remove the ovaries, and be essentially the female equivalent of castration. It is usually only done as a treatment of disease, or as part of a hysterectomy, again done due to pathology. Hysterectomies can be also be done to spare the ovaries, and help maintain hormonal balance.

Female Cats and Dogs are often Spayed (Ovariohysterectomy), removing the female sex organs, again the female form of castration.
