The Kingdom of Little Wounds by Suzann Cokal. Everyone had syphilis and the king had diarrhea constantly. Eventually he had some sort of rupture in his guts while engaged with his prime minister/lover in the bedchamber that made him poo poo blood until he died about 12 hours later. This is a problem because the king's only son has just died of syphilis and the dynasty is now in danger. But there's hope, since the queen is near term with her last pregnancy. Alas, the child, while male, had congenital syphilis and died shortly after birth. The two heroines save the day by stealing one of their newborn half-brothers (who doesn't have syphilis) and giving it to the widowed queen to let her perpetuate the late king's dynasty by passing him off as the king's. They then make their escape by murdering the prime minister, cutting off the prime minister's dick and stealing it because there were a bunch of gemstones sewn under the skin of his dick to protect him from contracting syphilis. (The prime minister was famously amorous and had had sex with both against their wills at different times, thus their awareness of his bodymod choices.) After extracting all of the gemstones the two women feed the severed penis to some alley cats. Finally they sailed off to Copenhagen to see if they could find one of their ex boyfriends. It was a gross book and I don't recommend.
