Is diagnostic testing worth the risks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: This is definitely not a straight forward yes/no answer. Whether or not the risks of any diagnostic test are 'worth it' is entirely up to you. It depends on how important a definitive answer is to you and what you would do with this information.
