Lõikused

Lõikused is a term used in Estonian to describe cuts or incisions. These can range from minor abrasions to deeper wounds. The term is broad and can apply to injuries sustained from sharp objects, accidents, or surgical procedures. In a medical context, lõikused are often categorized by their depth, cleanliness, and the likelihood of infection. Proper wound care, including cleaning and bandaging, is crucial to prevent complications. Depending on the severity, a lõikus might require professional medical attention to ensure proper healing and minimize scarring. The word itself is derived from the Estonian verb "lõikama," meaning "to cut."
