The U.S. military has introduced new rules requiring testosterone screening for a significant portion of its active-duty personnel and reservists. Men aged 30 and above will undergo blood tests to check their testosterone levels as part of the military's health checks. Female service members will be assessed under a separate protocol for symptoms like persistent fatigue or menstrual cycle changes. The initiative, pushed by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, aims to maintain a healthier and more capable fighting force but faces skepticism from some medical professionals.
