The Pentagon has issued new guidance requiring mandatory testosterone deficiency screening for male active-duty and reserve service members over the age of 30. This comes after the department temporarily rescinded previous guidance earlier this month. According to The Hill, the updated directive aims to address male testosterone deficiency and establish uniform screening and treatment protocols 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 aged 30 and older. The new policy reflects the department's effort to standardize healthcare practices related to testosterone deficiency among service members. No further details on implementation timelines or specific procedures have been disclosed in the available reports.
