Yeast infections are caused by a disruption in the balance of good bacteria in the vagina. Sexual intercourse, antibiotics, using too much soap, tampon usage, and even wearing tight clothing can all cause a yeast infection to occur. A yeast infection very well could be your problem, as it typically comes with a strange odor.
If you have never had one before and you suspect you do now, then you NEED to see your doctor for a proper diagnosis. From there, you can purchase over-the-counter medication such as Monistat from your local store. The 7-day treatment seems to be the best of the bunch. It comes with the medication, applicator, and instructions so you can do it yourself in privacy.
It is VERY important you see the doctor though because a yeast infection has the exact same symptoms of a bacterial infection (or bacterial vaginosis). BV infections are very, very harmful and end up rendering you infertile, and causing you severe pain for the rest of your life if left untreated. Women commonly misdiagnose BV with a YI, causing them heartache and physical pain years beyond then. Usually the only symptom women have of BV is a strange odor--sometimes not even that! The longer it's left untreated by a professional, the more damage it does.
While a UTI might be the issue, it's probably doubtful if you smell the odor more than in just your urine. Women have all three holes down there so close together that these things can easily spread infection from one to another and can be difficult to tell which one is the "infected" area. Self diagnosis is extremely difficult.
I hope you get yourself to the doctor to confirm your issue to be a yeast infection and all goes well with current treatment and preventative measures. Please see the doctor to make sure everything is okay and you won't be 10 years down the road, in pain, and unable to have children :(

More than likely if it's not an STD it's a Urinary Tract Infection according to Lennox Hoyle MD at the link I'm about to give you. Interestingly enough, it could be a medication that you are on that is cause of the smell especially if it smells burnt or like sulphur.It may smell like rotten eggs, a burnt match.
The other thing it could be is your diet. It changes the color and smell of urine all the time especially if you're eating something outside the norm a lot. I know you don't want us to tell you to see a doctor. However, if you're concerned about this you really ought to. We're not doctors ourselves and our advice can't be taken like it's the sole explanation. It's just a guide. We can't diagnose.
