A member asked:

Is it normal that my 12 year old daughter's waist is curvier than the other side?? is it because of puberty?

Dr. Natalie Hodge answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

What other side?: I am not clear on your question. Are you asking if one side of her waist being curvier than the other is normal? If that is your question, then she definitely needs a physical exam to evaluate this asymmetry that you are noticing. It could possibly be a scoliosis deformity that we want to define and watch over time.
