Prolapse? What should I do?

Today I was giving Mazais (not the bearded dragon with URI, that's Ropey) a bath. As in all baths, I massaged her belly. After massaging for about a minute, I saw what I at first thought was poop coming out of her vent. Upon closer inspection, I found out that it was a prolapse. Probably a Colon prolapse. It was pretty big, but not extremely big. It was about the size of a small marble, maybe a bit smaller, and Mazais is 40 cm (16 inches) long. I took Mazais out of the bath, and gently lifted up her tail (She usually closes her vent when I do this), and it quickly went back inside.

She is not impacted, as 5 minutes later a big, solid healthy poop came out of her vent, with no sign of the prolapse. Could this be a one-time event that I shouldn't worry about, or should I book a vet visit? Ropey's getting one in the next few days and I could bring Mazais too, I guess.

Thanks.

Hi there....Mazais should be fine. Are her urates generally hard [ like chalk ] or are they normal ? What you saw can be normal,a bit of tissue may be seen when they produce a large b.m. A true prolapse is really quite large and alarming and it doesn't go back in on it's own like hers did. It might be best not to rub her belly though , she should be able to go on her own. But she should be fine :) and if there's no prolapse, a vet won't do anything .

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
