There’s a natural bowing of legs at knees- it’s called physiological varus.
If you feel this bowing is excessive, visit a knee surgeon.
We generally get a scannogram done to measure the exact angles : this gives exact idea how much bowing is there.
If it’s beyond normal - something needs to be done about it to correct it so that your knees don’t develop early arthritis.

You can share your scannogram with me.
