Gydyti

Gydyti is a Lithuanian verb meaning to heal, cure, or treat. It refers to actions that restore health or relieve symptoms and is used in both medical contexts and everyday speech. The sense can be medical, such as treating a disease or healing a wound, or figurative, as when someone seeks to heal emotional or social problems.

In medical contexts, gydyti describes applying therapies—such as medications, procedures, or rehabilitation—by doctors, nurses, and other health professionals to a patient. The related noun gydymas denotes the process or result of treatment or healing, for example the course of treatment. The term gydytojas refers to a person who provides treatment, a physician. Other common derivatives include gydomi (being treated) and gydantis (healing, therapeutic).

Gydyti can also be used in non-medical senses, for instance to mend or repair something or to alleviate non-physical issues. This broad applicability makes it a core term in healthcare vocabulary as well as in everyday language.

Examples:

- Ligonis buvo gydomas ligoninėje.

- Gydytojas paskyrė vaistų kursą ir tolesnį gydymą.

- Žaizdą reikia gydyti antiseptiku, kol ji užgis.
