US Secretary of Defense Hegseth announced on the 15th that the annual medical examination for military personnel aged 30 and above will add a low testosterone screening program, saying this is a “necessary measure” for the military to maintain an “absolute best” state. The move is expected to intensify controversy over the safety of testosterone replacement products in the US and trigger sexist controversy. Hegseth posted a video on social media X on the 15th saying that introducing the above program in the annual physical examination will help soldiers with low testosterone get recommendations for alternative treatments, “ensure that your testosterone levels are sufficient to keep you in the best condition.” Military personnel who have detected low testosterone can independently decide whether to receive hormone replacement therapy. Military personnel under the age of 30 may voluntarily be screened.
