· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The Pentagon has implemented new guidelines requiring testosterone testing for male military personnel aged 30 and older. This policy currently excludes women and has raised concerns among medical experts regarding its necessity and effectiveness. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth emphasized the need for this program to identify testosterone deficiency to enhance soldiers' performance. While the guidelines specify that testing will initially apply only to men, the clinical practice for women is still under review. Experts debate the appropriateness of routine testosterone screening, as the policy diverges from standard medical recommendations, which typically suggest testing only for symptomatic individuals.
