I've never heard of this situation with geckos, but with arboreal boids (namely Green Tree Pythons) it's the most common remedy for a prolapse. This is somewhat different, as it isn't the hemipenis, but instead tissue on the inside of the vent.

The best way to help is by making the solution of sugar and water, then dipping a papertowel into the solution. Put the towel on the inside of a deli cup and leave the Rhac on the towel for about fifteen minutes. If it doesn't clear up after that, try again in a few hours. As for after that y0ou should get to a vet.

Good Luck

Ian
