Know the signs of a STROKE, F.A.S.T.!

03/10/2025

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗽𝗶𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴? 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲.👂✨

In Kenya, a percentage of women and men have pierced earlobes - making them the most commonly pierced body part. But behind the bling is a healing process you can’t afford to ignore.

🕒 Lobe piercings: Heal in 6–8 weeks
🕒 Cartilage piercings (like helix, tragus, conch, rook, daith): Can take 6–12 months

👉🏽 Why the delay? Cartilage gets less blood flow, so it heals much slower than soft tissue.

🔍 Healing depends on:

🔹Your overall health

🔹Piercing technique (needle vs. gun)

🔹Jewelry type

🔹Piercing location

✅ 𝙔𝙤𝙪'𝙧𝙚 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙚𝙙 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣:

🔹No pain or swelling

🔹No redness, scabbing or flaking

🔹Jewelry moves easily

🚨 𝙄𝙣𝙛𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙖𝙡𝙚𝙧𝙩:

⚠️Swelling, redness ⚠️Pus or bloody discharge ⚠️Itchiness or pain

🔁 Don’t change your earrings until it’s fully healed — rushing it can cause serious complications.

What are non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and how do they connect to mental health?

NCDs refer to a wide range of chronic diseases that are nontransmissible and often lifelong. This includes cardiovascular diseases, chronic respiratory diseases, diabetes, and cancers. Severe childhood-onset NCDs include sickle cell disease, type 1 diabetes, and childhood heart diseases.

Mental health and NCDs are deeply interconnected. Many mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety, are chronic conditions. Conversely, individuals with NCDs like diabetes or heart disease are at a significantly higher risk of experiencing mental health challenges.

UNICEF is committed to ensuring that children impacted by NCDs and mental health conditions receive the care and support they need.
