I am not a Doctor or anything, but I can attempt to answer this question based on my own personal experiences. Although a yeast infection can have a funny odor, it is usually different from bacteria. Bacteria usually has a foul-like "fishy" odor. The discharge is usually thin, and clear. A yeast infection on the other hand, has a cottage cheese like discharge, and the smell is usually "musky". Not to mention a yeast infection itches like mad, and can be very annoying. My suggestion is to go to the Doctor and not to try and diagnose yourself, because although you can get medicine for a yeast infection over the counter, medicine for bacteria can only be prescribed, and trust me the longer you wait on either on of these infections the worse it is.
Hope that helps,

Can you get chlamydia from a UTI?
Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease. Urinary tract infections (UTI) are not. It is possible to have both a UTI and Chlamydia, but one does not cause the other. There is no other way to get Chlamydia except through sexual contact; UTIs, on the other hand, can even be seen in young kids. Chlamydia is caused by bacteria called Chlamydia trachomatis, that is spread by oral, anal, or vaginal sex; genital-genital contact; sharing sex toys; or birth to a woman with chlamydia. Chlamydia can infect the urethra, which is part of the urinary tract. It can cause urinary pain or blood in your urine. However, we don't usually call chlamydia a UTI. In the US, at least, UTI is meant to signify infections of the urinary tract that are not typically spread by sex.

Chlamydia also can cause discharge from the penis of an infected man.
