Gonnorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease. If someone told you that, probably he/she knew you had sex with someone. No one is better than the doctor to tell you if you have contracted STD... so, have a check- up.

Chlamydia and Gonorrhea in women can produce inflammation and mucupurulent discharge in the following places:
Urethritis (inflammation of the urethra - difficult to diagnose in women because the of the position of the urethra, compared to men)
Cervicitis (Inflammation of the cervix)
Bartholinitis (Inflammation of the Bartholin glands that underlie the labia - they will look like unilateral labial swellings that can be quite marked and painful)
Conjunctivitis (inflammation of the conjunctiva of the eye).
Occasionally, gonorrhea can also cause pharyngitis (sore throat in those who have engaged in unprotected oral-genital sexual contact), and chlamydia can cause proctitis in those who engage in unprotected anal sex.
More severe gonorrheal and chylamydial complications in women include pelvic inflammatory disease and, for gonorrhea, a disseminated gonococcal infection (can spread throughout the entire body via the bloodstream).
The most common symptoms, however, would be painful urination and mucopurlent discharge from the vagina. Some women can be completely assymptomatic. If the case is more advanced, there could possibly some tenderness on cervical manipulation - a pelvic exam by a doctor, for example, might reveal this.
If you were told by a male partner that you might have chalmydia or gonorrhea, it is important that you seek medical care immediately. Although both conditions are completely treatable by antibiotics, they can lead to some pretty terrible effects if left untreated - infertility, perihepatitis, chronic pelvic pain, a risk for ectopic pregnancy. Go see a doctor immediately if you suspect that you may have been exposed.
Th doctor will likely put you on antibiotics for both diseases, since, in 30% of cases, they cause co-infections. Ceftriaxone of Cefixime single dose for the gonorrhea bacteria (Neisseria gonorrhea), plus either a single dose of Azirthromycin, or, alternatively, Doxycycline for 7 days for the Chlamydia bacterium (Chlamydiae trachomatis).
