I see this is an older post but since I'm just now viewing it and others may have the same question, I wanted to post my reply.  I had vaginal bleeding and odor after my hysterectomy.  I mentioned it to my doctor who said that the vaginal bleeding would be normal for possibly up to about 6 weeks  - -  it is due to internal stitches.  The odor could be a sign of infection.  I was given an antibiotic which seemed to clear up the odor just fine.  It has been 3 weeks since my hysterectomy and the vaginal bleeding has cleared up as well.
