Appearing excess flesh in the anus after going heavy, is hemorrhoids?

I was born in 2004. Recently, every time I have a heavy bowel movement, I see a lump in the anus and it starts to get bigger, but after a few hours or a few days, it's back to normal. I eat quite a few vegetables, I don't go to the toilet very often, 1-2 times a week. That lump of flesh makes me feel a bit sore, but it doesn't bleed when I walk heavily.

I would like to thank.
