Gonorrhea (also known as the clap or the drip) is a sexually transmitted bacterial infection caused by the Neisseria gonorrhea. It often affects urethra, rectum or throat. In men, this disease generally results in anterior urethritis accompanied by purulent exudate. In women, the disease is most often found in the cervix, but the vagina and uterus may also be infected.
