Blogger and model Anastasia Kostenko has shared concerns about her health in a recent statement circulated through a Telegram channel. She reported experiencing serious health issues that prompted public attention and reflection on wellness, especially for those juggling a demanding public life with personal health matters.
Kostenko was diagnosed with acute lymphadenitis affecting the left parotid-masticatory region as well as the submandibular area. She noted a belief that environmental factors, such as temperature changes, could have contributed to the onset of the condition. This interpretation aligns with common cautions about how quick shifts in home climate can influence one’s well-being, especially for those with sensitive areas of the face and neck.
In recounting the episode, she described an evening spent in a chilly indoor environment, followed by warmth from a fireplace that she believes may have impacted the affected facial region. She emphasized that the timing of the symptom onset coincided with these daily conditions, underscoring the importance of mindful temperature management and self-care during cold months.
Lymphadenitis, by medical definition, is the inflammation of lymph nodes. It can arise from infections or other inflammatory processes and may require medical assessment to determine the cause and appropriate treatment. The condition often presents with localized swelling, tenderness, and sometimes systemic symptoms, which patients should monitor and discuss with healthcare providers if they occur.
Kostenko is married to footballer Dmitry Tarasov. The couple has three children—a son named Alexey and daughters Milana and Eva. The model has spoken about her desire to grow their family and has expressed openness about expanding their newest addition to the household. In September 2023, she hinted at becoming a mother again, signaling plans for a fourth child.
Tarasov publicly stated in January that he would not oppose another pregnancy after the anticipated birth of a fourth child. He also expressed a wish to have another son, citing his belief in the importance of continuing a family name for future generations.
Earlier, public discussions echoed about Lera Kudryavtseva and changes in her own family life, illustrating how personal life narratives often intersect with public personalities and media coverage.
