"What Urologists Think of the Military's New Testosterone Testing Policy
Doctors specializing in men's health are divided as to whether people who don't have symptoms of low testosterone should be tested for the condition. Many doctors also urge men to be cautious about taking TRT, which can stall sperm production and cause infertility.
"There's no free lunch. There are side effects," says Dr. Jeff Morrison, a urologist at the University of Colorado. "If you are interested in further fertility, then TRT is probably not a good option."
Morrison says he ensures that his patients"particularly younger men in their 30s and 40s"are counseled about TRT's potential adverse effects, which also include an increased risk of blood clots, acne, breast tenderness, and irritability. TRT is also generally considered a long-term or lifelong treatment.
Hegseth didn't mention TRT's side effects or the long-term nature of the treatment in the video, and he did not discuss alternative interventions, such as lifestyle changes, that can raise testosterone levels.
"It's not recommended by the American Urological Association or the Endocrine Society to routinely screen people," says Dr. Ajay Nangia, professor of urology at the University of Kansas Health System. Primary care doctors do not routinely test men's testosterone levels.
"The recommendation by Mr. Hegseth goes against these guidelines.""
