When you say its bleeding I'm not sure by your post how much blood you're talking about. A few drops have bled thru, or your shirt is saturated with blood?
When I had my port replaccement surgery done my port incision (approx 2 inches long) had dried blood underneath the steri strips that began to look like fresh blood after I was able to shower and the incision got wet.
You can save yourself an ER visit by calling yoour surgeon-either your doc or a partner will be on call and after you describe the bleeding to them can gicve you further instructions.
Good luck!

I would go in and have it checked out, just in case..... but usually if there is no pain or foul oder coming from the incision you are ok.
