Can hydrosalpinx that was already treated can occur again?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

DEPENDS ON HOW TREAT: Most are treated by removal to prevent pyosalpinx or infection. Therefore not recur on that tube but can recur on opposite tube.

Yes: It depends on what the treatment was, but definitely a risk to recur. Tuboplasty and salingo-neostomy are terms for conservative treatment of hydrosalpinx by surgically creating a new opening at the far end of the tube. These are definitely subject to closure, with subsequent recurrence. Treatment of hydrosalpinx by removal clearly cannot recur.
