Vet assistance isn't necessary. It's called a prolapse. A male turtle gets them sometimes. What you're seeing is the reproductive organ of a male turtle. As long as it goes back in, it's fine.

Turtleowner, I can tell you are most likely new to RES. Please check your sources before posting especially if you are telling someone to go to the vet.
