Sour smelling, yellowish discharge?

This has never happened to me before, and I've been looking through the answers on here, but I haven't found anything that matches what I have.

Just today I noticed a yellowish discharge in my underwear. It's not chunky (I heard a yeast infection is supposed to be more like cottage cheese), but more like mucous and it smells awful (really sour, like strong vinegar). There is no itching, no burning. It's not painful in any way. But I've been having the tiniest amount of pain in the bladder region, kind of like when your bladder is too full. But I don't need to pee more than usual (don't bladder infections do that?)

I'm on the pill and my period ended last Saturday. It's always been irregular so maybe this whole thing is just hormonal?

    not everything is like you think it is. it could be a yeast infection, it could be a UTI, it could be a bladder infection. you should get it checked out. in the mean time (til you get to the drs) drink some cranberry juice and eat some yogurt with the live active cultures in it. the live active cultures (good bacteria) will help with any yeast infection and the cranberry juice will with the UTI/yeast infection if thats what it is.. but you should probably see a dr
