What is another word for gonorrhea?
Pronunciation: [ɡˈɒnəɹˌi͡ə] (IPA) 
Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by a bacterium called Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It can infect both men and women and is most commonly transmitted through unprotected sexual contact with an infected partner. Although there are no synonyms for gonorrhea, it is sometimes referred to as "the clap" or "the drip" due to the symptoms it can cause. These symptoms include painful urination, discharge from the penis or vagina, and in women, pain during sex and bleeding between periods. Gonorrhea can be easily treated with antibiotics, but if left untreated, it can lead to serious complications, such as infertility and pelvic inflammatory disease. It is important to practice safe sex and get regular STI testing to prevent the spread of gonorrhea and other STIs.
