My mom’s port starting bleeding after having it flushed.

My mom had her port flushed and later that day she felt dripping through her shirt and she was bleeding out of the port. She now has 3 little holes around the port and is bruised in that area. Does anyone know what could have caused that? It’s never happened before and she’s had the port for 8 years.
