Gallstone disease is one of the most common pathologies of the digestive system. According to the WHO, up to 10% of the world’s population faces this problem, and in Ukraine the incidence among adults reaches 12-15%. At the same time, women get sick two to three times more often than men due to hormonal characteristics, pregnancy, and other factors. People over 40 years old, those with a genetic predisposition, obesity, or diabetes are particularly susceptible to gallstones.
Unfortunately, gallstones are often asymptomatic, which makes early diagnosis difficult. Usually, the disease is detected by chance during ultrasound examinations, but in case of progression, serious complications are possible that require immediate intervention.
Oleksandr Fedosenko, a surgeon of the highest category, head of the surgical department atLeleka Medical Center, explains why stones appear, what treatment methods exist, and what the consequences of ignoring the problem are.
Why do stones form?
Gallstones are formed due to metabolic disorders when the balance of bile components changes. The main types of stones are:
Risk factors include:
How to recognize the problem?
In most cases, cholelithiasis is asymptomatic, and stones are detected by chance during an ultrasound examination of the abdominal cavity. However, in some situations, patients may notice:
Acute intense pain may indicate the development of complications, such as acute cholecystitis, and requires immediate medical attention.
How to treat gallstone disease?
The only effective treatment for gallstones is surgical removal of the gallbladder. The gold standard is laparoscopic cholecystectomy, a minimally invasive surgery performed through small punctures in the abdominal wall. This method ensures rapid recovery of patients who can be discharged the next day.
At the same time, ignoring the problem can lead to serious complications, such as
To reduce the risk of developing gallstones:
Cholelithiasis is not a sentence, but a reminder of the importance of a healthy lifestyle and timely medical attention. Take care of your health and remember: any disease is better prevented than cured.

Ukrainian women are known not only for their devoted and reverent attitude towards their families, but also for their strength of spirit, especially now, in these extremely difficult times for our country. Obviously, motherhood in time of war requires both courage and much more internal resources. After all, they face an incredible number of challenges and experiences. However, Ukrainian women realize more than ever that by giving new lives, they are procreating their own lineage and preserving the Ukrainian nation. It is not surprising that 2024 was another year when we saw many star babies among thousands of little Ukrainians.
It is worth noting that despite the difficult situation and military risks, they remain in Ukraine and choose to give birth here. Usually, celebrities choose private maternity hospitals to give birth to their babies. The most popular among them is the Leleka Maternity Hospital in Kyiv. This facility provides childbirth of any degree of complexity, uses modern and innovative approaches to all processes, and ensures the highest level of safety and care for each patient. By the way, this is the first and only hospital in Ukraine to receive the most prestigious international accreditation JCI, which indicates the high quality of medical services and international recognition.
We are telling you about several Ukrainian stars for whom the year 2024 was marked by a wonderful event – some had their first child, others were lucky enough to welcome a second child into the family, and some celebrities became parents of many children.
The famous Ukrainian singer of Crimean Tatar origin became a mother for the third time in May 2024 – she and her husband Bekir gave birth to another son. The happy parents named the boy Alim-Seit Bekir. Jamala’s older sons, Emir and Selim, are 6 and 4 years old. All the singer’s children were born in the medical center, theLelekamaternity hospital.
The family of Ukrainian actress and TV presenter Lilia Rebryk and choreographer Andriy Dykyi also became large this year. In March, the celebrity gave birth to their third daughter, who was named Adelina. Lilia and Andriy have two older daughters, 11-year-old Diana and 6-year-old Polina.
The famous Ukrainian blogger and twerk dancer became a mother for the first time in June. On the day she gave birth, Maria showed touching black-and-white footage of her husband and child. The girl, who, by the way, was born weighing 4 kg, was named Maya.
The wife of former Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine and businessman Serhiy Tihipko also gave birth to a daughter in June this year. The couple also has three sons together – Serhiy, Stanislav and Oleksandr. The couple named the girl Yulianna. “Yulianna. I am extremely grateful to the Leleka Medical Center for helping me become even happier,” Alla commented on the birth of her daughter on her social media.
Choosing a maternity hospital is one of the most important decisions for future parents. Whether the family is famous or not, safe and comfortable conditions are the key to a successful delivery, health and well-being of the mother and baby.
The State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) is accelerating the development and creation of a unified national credit information disclosure platform, according to a report on the regulator’s website. The system is expected to be launched at the end of this year or early next year.
Business entities will be able to register on the platform through an electronic license to conduct commercial activities. In addition to their credit status, they will be able to obtain data on fines and violations, illegal and inaccurate information.
In the event of a change in credit history, companies will be able to apply for a credit rating improvement (“credit restoration”).
“The development and construction of a unified platform will further optimize the credit restoration mechanism, provide businesses with more efficient and convenient services, and play a positive role in encouraging businesses to restore their credit history and promote quality development,” SAMR said in a statement.
