You should not have lumps in the testicles. If you are performing testicular self-examination, which you should be on a monthly basis, and if this represents a change compared to a prior self-exam, you should see a urologist for an examination. Blood in the semen is called hematospermia and is usually self limited. If it persists at your young age, this too should be addressed by a urologist.
