What Could Be The Reason For Heavy Periods With Foul Vaginal Smell?

I am usually a really healthy person. I am almost 55 and haven't really stopped having my periods. They are getting kind of heavy though. Lately I have been smelling really foul down there. I have never had a yeast infection or a bladder infection so I don't know why it would smell bad. It's not itchy or burning but I have a thin, watery discharge. It's kind of dark when I wear a pad.
