Factors behind dormant herpes reactivation
Intense psychological stress and lack of sleep can reactivate dormant herpes viruses, such as herpes simplex and chickenpox, leading to the appearance of rashes and recurrent outbreaks. Studies have shown that stress activates a system connected to the brain and glands, increasing cortisol levels and weakening immune cells, making it harder for the body to control viral activity. Doctors recommend getting good sleep, reducing stress, engaging in moderate physical activity, and protecting oneself from sunlight to minimize herpes recurrences. Antiviral medication may also be prescribed in cases of frequent outbreaks.
