Anus swelling for about 3 days

I am a teenager (male) and I noticed my anus swells when I defecate.a few soft lumps appear when pressure is applied to defecate. When pressure is not applied after defecation , the lumps is gone. I have to apply pressure to defecate because I felt the stool cannot be passed out as if the lump it blocking it. As long as pressure is applied the lumps returns , this has been going on for about 3 days . Is this normal . I don’t feel pain or anything.
