US decision raises soldiers' fertility concerns
The American Department of Defense issued a decision to conduct annual testosterone level screenings for all military personnel over the age of thirty, aiming to enhance performance and endurance during missions. This move has sparked widespread controversy among medical professionals, as many emphasize that testosterone levels do not directly reflect combat efficiency or readiness. Medical consultations warn that relying on these tests could lead to unnecessary and potentially harmful treatments for individuals who show no symptoms. Experts recommend that testosterone supplement therapy should be limited to cases with clear symptoms, such as decreased libido or reduced muscle mass, due to potential health risks including prostate issues and hair loss. They believe that this decision may not contribute to improving the readiness of the U.S. Army and should be approached with caution, considering that hormone levels naturally change with age.
