A member asked:

Hey, im 16 years old, recently ive been experiencing numbness in the inner thigh and groin area. it happens at least once a day and lasts for about 1-2 minutes there is no pain involved but i was curious what could cause it. thanks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Such localized&transient numbness could be caused by minor superficial neuropathy or some impingement of the femoral nerve. In the absence of more symptoms, I'm not sure if it's worth consulting a neurologist at this time for what appears to be only a trivial symptom.
