If it is a prolapsed hemipene then yes. Rectal prolapse can be more difficult.
I say get him and take a picture and post it.
Usually amputation is the route taken. So yea I'd say a vet visit may be in order.

I've heard short soaks in a sugar/water mix has helped reduce swelling in prolapses.
but without knowing what kind of prolapse, its hard to say.
Vet visit is probably the only real way to make sure he'll do okay.

Vet. Only way to go. All other options are pretty much ineffective and useless.
