What Causes Tiny Hole With Sticky Fluid In Hip Joint?

hello everyoneI would like to know ask about an issue I am facing from quite some time.I think I have a tiny hole in my hip joint,as I can t see it I can only feel it by touching. It is completely pain free neither do I face any other sort of issue.Problem is that it releases a sticky transparent fluid. Why is this so and what do we say to this problem in medical terms?

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. It appears to be a sinus.
2. I do not think it is from the hip joint. It could be a draining abscess, possibly superficial. Culture of the fluid is necessary to identify the organism for treatment of infection.
3. Meet your surgeon at the earliest to avoid risk of spreading to deeper organs or into blood.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
