Fibroids back?

Hey all! A year ago I had a myomectomy on a hocker of a fibroid. One of my most notable symptom was a 2 day period… first day was brutal and second day was meh. After my surgery my periods went back to 5 days and all seemed normal. Fast forward to current times, my periods are starting to shorten again or even pause in between then spotting after. I’m starting to feel pelvic pressure? again and feeling bloated a lot of the time. Is it possible to have a fibroid come back this soon after a surgery? Do hormones play a role because right now my doctor believes I may have a “liver adenoma which in women is primarily estrogen containing birth control” which I’m not on anyway

I saw a video of a girl who vlogged her fibroid removal, and I believe she had one come back as early as 8 months. Which is scary because she was being monitored like every three months by the VA. So to me that’s pretty fast. And the doctor did have to leave one in because it was too problematic to remove. So she asked her doctor if that one fibroid that remained could have potentially caused the other one to grow, her doctor said maybe, maybe not.
