Default HELP please

my female yellow bellied slider, aged approx 3-4 years.
I have just noticed something come out of her ass, black in colour, like a big lump about the size of a stone 4cm diameter, this is about 4 times the width of her tail!!!, it went back in, but her tail looks like it has a lump, does anyone know what this is??? im worried about her, she is eating as normal. the black in colour is not similar to her poo which is more a dark brown so i know its not that.
i could really use some help

What you saw was either a) a penis, or b) a prolapse, it doesn't really sound like a prolapse, but from the size and colour it does sound very much like a penis, in which case you have a male not a female!

What makes you think it's female?

From your description of the colour I'd say it's a penis, does it look a bit like raw liver?
