First of all, birth control pills do not cause urinary infections or vaginal odors.
Abnormal vaginal discharge and odor in general can be caused by improper hygiene, bacterial vaginosis, or Trichomoniasis (sexually transmitted infection caused by a parasite). Bacterial vaginosis is vaginal inflammation caused by bacterial overgrowth. Doctors do not know what causes bacterial vaginosis, however, unprotected intercourse and frequent douching can increase your risk of getting it.
Remember that birth control pills do not protect from sexually transmitting infections and STD's.
Even though these are possible causes, it would be impossible to know for sure unless you are examined by a doctor.
