Infection: The only definitive way to diagnose UTI vs vaginitis is to be evaluated by a women's health provider. History, physical exam and possible culture based on the history and physical exam. More information is needed in regards to your symptoms.

See a gynecologist: sounds like vaginitis, possibly candida or less likely bacterial. He can do a culture and recommend appropriate treatment
