I've noticed that my uvula seems to be slightly off-center, leaning a tiny bit to the right when I say "aah." I don't really have any other symptoms, but I'm curious if this slight deviation is considered normal. Should I be worried about it?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Uvula asymmetry can be a normal finding in some individuals. As long as you do not have any other symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, sore throat, or snoring, it is likely nothing to be concerned about. Just keep an eye on it for any changes.
