What Causes Orange-yellow Discharge In Rectum?

Hi, I noticed an oily orange-yellow discharge from my rectum this morning. Drops of it were floating on top of the water in the toilet (sorry for being gross). This has never happened before. I have a history of constipation issues but nothing like this. What can this mean?
