Possibly a UTI: Urinalysis will answer the question for you. Not necessary to always have pain or burning. Utis can be completely symptom free, or even have urinary malodor as the only symptom.

See answer: Since symptoms of a UTI can be quite varied ranging from typical urinary urgency, frequency, voiding small volumes, and burning to minimal or absent symptoms; since other bladder conditions could be responsible for your symptoms; since a urinalysis may be more or less suggestive of a UTI but only ~60% accurate in predicting a uti; a urine culture is the most accurate test to rule in or out a uti.
