The Pentagon has issued immediate clinical guidelines requiring active-duty and reserve male service members aged 30 and older to undergo testosterone deficiency screening as part of regular health assessments. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says the initiative is designed to strengthen warfighter health, performance and military readiness. Troops diagnosed with genuine testosterone deficiency may receive further evaluation and treatment, including voluntary testosterone replacement therapy. However, medical experts have questioned whether universal screening improves combat readiness and warned that unnecessary treatment could carry risks. #pentagon #usmilitary #petethegseth #hegseth #testosterone #highT #military #usarmy #warfighters #militaryreadiness #trt #defense #usa #trump #geopolitics #breakingnews #worldnews #timesnowworld Stay connected with Times Now World for real-time global news and analysis: 🌐 Read full coverage: https://www.timesnownews.com/world 📱 Instagram: htt
