Iliopsoas bursitis (hip, groin mucositis).

Inguinal mucositis, also known as iliopsoas bursitis, is a condition that can cause severe pain, reddish swelling and inflammation towards the inside of the hip, towards the groin, in the hip flexor.

Iliopsoas bursitis can occur after a single trauma (fall or accident) or repeated microtraumas (such as prolonged exertion). Mucositis of the groin can also occur from something as simple as using the area a lot, for example, football players may be exposed to groin problems.

The position of the ground mucus bag is exposed to trauma or frictional injuries. As you can see in the picture below, it lies directly against the hip flexor, iliopsoas, on the inside of the hip, towards the groin - the mucous sac is called iliopsoas bursa.

What is a slimy bag / bursa?

A bursa is a fluid-filled 'mucus sac' found in various parts of the body. These mucous sacs are designed to reduce friction between different layers of tissue - thus they are typically located in areas that may be prone to such frictional damage.

Iliopsoas bursitis symptoms

The area can become hot, painful and reddish in the skin - a clear swelling will usually also be present. In other words, it will feel like an inflammation in the groin and inside of the hip, and the pain is in most cases also present at night. In certain cases (for example in the absence of treatment) the inflammation can become septic, and is then called septic iliopsoas bursitis.
