Doctors Warn Against Pentagon's Testosterone Testing Plan

Doctors Warn Against Pentagon's Testosterone Testing Plan

The Pentagon wants to test all soldiers over 30 for low testosterone every year to keep them ready for battle.

But many doctors say this might not help and could even cause problems.

They warn that giving testosterone to people who don't need it could make them infertile or cause other health issues.

The FDA has also warned about possible heart problems.

Some experts think testing could be useful, but others say it's not necessary for most people.

The Pentagon hasn't said how they will handle the results or if the tests will be the same for men and women.
