Don't know where to put this-orange discharge?

Today I noticed a wet spot on my panties. I assumed I was getting my period, although I had already had one not too long ago. I went to wipe, and saw bright orange. It scared me quite a bit, and I did a quick google search, which suggested infection. I wanted to get a second opinion. I am pretty young, haven't had sex in a few years, and haven't eaten anything out of the ordinary. The only off thing about me is incontinence, but that's been on for a few months. Could the two be connected? Is it serious? My mother wants to wait a while to see if it goes away, and I did tell her that the answers I read on various websites pointed to infection. I'm going away on Sunday. I need to know what this could be and how urgent it needs to be checked out.

Thanks.

Okay, sorry for bumping this up, but I'm reading more on oily farts/ stool and everywhere says pancreatitis or a tumor. I HAVE to know if I'm in desperate need of medical attention.
I did call the doctor and said I had orange in stool, and she said it was probably the peach tea I was drinking, but I had forgotten to mention it was oily and came out with gas. I remember this happened before, and I was told fat malabsorption, but it went away after a few days. Also, I read online that malabsorption is caused by things like pancreas problems. How could I not know if I have pancreas problems?
Anyone?

I also want to add that I have been drinking a lot of tea (peach tea) lately, so could it be dehydration? There is no pain at all, just orange. I haven't eaten carrots or any other orange food lately, though I had fish last night, and lo mein which was oily I guess? Could it be that?
I am on a new medication, Geodon, but on their website they had nothing about urine problems. I'm not even sure if it was urine, since the urine in the toilet looked yellow.
