What Causes Prolonged Malodorous Reddish Brown Vaginal Discharge After Period?

Hello, my name is Lenice. I am 36, 165cm and 52kg. I have had 2 complication free c-sections, the first one due to placenta preavia, the 2nd as an elective. I started menstruating again 8mths post birth. I have noticed that my periods are slightly heavier with more clots that are very dark red/brown in colour with quite an offensive odour. What's very unusual for me is that I am continuing to have a vaginal discharge/secretion that is dark red/brown in colour for the rest of month up until my 'scheduled' period starts again. The amount of leakage seems to vary on the type of day I have had, be it long and busy with lots of standing and walking and there is still the smell. There is no pain as such however there is definitely constant lower abdominal discomfort. I have been monitoring myself for a few months now but am starting to get concerned as this is totally unusual for my body and I had nothing like this between caesars. Look forward to a reply. Thank you,Lenice
