US Pentagon issues clinical guidelines on troop testosterone screening to start immediately

The Pentagon has issued new guidance for mandatory testosterone screening for service members. This policy applies to active-duty and reserve personnel aged thirty and older. Men aged thirty and above will undergo routine blood tests for testosterone levels. Women will be screened for fatigue and menstrual cycle disruptions, which can indicate hormonal issues. The guidance aims to improve military readiness by managing hormonal and energy availability concerns.
