I try to search here for anything about assmetry in the tongue but i cant find anything or anyone that has had it snd can it be linked to s cyst im so confused and fustrated as to why ent said cyst but has put this assymetry are they the same thing ??
Hi. Asymmetry means the tongue doesn’t look the same each side, a cyst would make the tongue asymmetrical. The cyst is in that case is causing the asymmetry.
An asymmetrical tongue isn’t a disease. It’s a description of the tongue’s anatomy.
If you had a finger missing in one hand your two hands would be asymmetrical
Please you must just keep busy and wait for a proper answer from your consultant.
