Default hamsters tail??

Hi, I have noticed with my female syrian that her tail feels fatter at the bit that is attached to her body and gets thinner, it does not feel normal compared to the males but she does not seem to be in any pain with it, does this sound kinked or broken? should I be getting her a vet's appointment if it is not bothering her at all? she is only nearly 5 months and I got her from the adoption part of p@h, I have only noticed it in the past week but it is the first time I have actually touched her tail.

I would just keep it under observation, but if shes showing no discomfort from it I would think shes okay I've not owned many syrians, so I've never really noticed if there is difference in their tails. But if she does have a kink, it won't bother her, she'll carry on as normal x

Thank you for the advice, I am not totally sure how to tell whether it is actually a kink though as I have not actually had a hamsters tail like this before, he is deffo not in any discomfort with it though, you cannot tell it is any different though until you actually run your fingers along it.
