The Pentagon has issued new guidance requiring mandatory testosterone deficiency screening for male active-duty and reserve service members over the age of 30, according to The Hill. The updated policy follows the temporary rescinding of previous guidance earlier this month and aims to establish uniform screening and treatment pathways across the Defense Health Agency. ABC News US reported that the Pentagon has rolled out formal guidance for mandatory testosterone testing for male service members 30 and older. Al Jazeera English noted that experts have criticized the policy as unnecessary, citing concerns that testosterone injections may increase the risk of infertility. The new guidance appears to signal a return to previous practices, though the full implications of the policy remain under scrutiny.
