Hegseth Is Pushing Testosterone. The VA Has Already Struggled With the Treatment.

Veterans Affairs Secretary Pete Hegseth's recent push for testosterone treatment among male veterans has raised concerns about the potential long-term consequences for their reproductive health. According to a medical expert, men who undergo testosterone therapy may experience a significant reduction in their sperm counts, potentially impacting fertility. This warning comes as the VA grapples with the challenges of providing effective care for veterans undergoing testosterone treatment. The Intercept reports that the VA has already struggled to manage the treatment, and now questions are being raised about the availability of ongoing care for veterans who may be affected by this treatment.
