Unnecessary Testing?
My 14mo son got seen about a month ago by his doctor and she said due to his consistent growth,( he's currently almost 3ft tall and 30lbs) she recommends that we get genetic & hormone testing to make sure he does not have a condition making him grow so fast. She said he doesnt have any visual signs of any conditions, but wants to be safe.
I cant help but feel like this is just unnecessary? Has anyone else's doctor told them to do testing like that? How was it? Im so worried that this will just be a bunch of stress (i.e. blood being drawn) for something that wasn't needed. We arent necessarily saying we dont care what the doctor is saying, but more so trying to find anyone else who has had these tests done and was it helpful or informative. Any help is much appreciated, thank you!!
