Brief Answer:
Dear ,
Detailed Answer:
There is nothing stupid in your question. On the other hand, I recommend to have some Lab test to ensure that your hormone levels are normal.
First and most important is Growth Hormone.
second, an X ray on the arms and legs to see if the bone growth is normal
I hope you find my answer helpful
