Herpes: react acutely and act preventively
Register now for the Spagyric Webinar
Herpes is a widespread infectious disease. The infected person carries the herpes viruses permanently, and they usually make themselves felt on the lip. Here, the herpes often breaks out in the form of painful, red blisters. Mostly, herpes becomes noticeable exactly when it does not suit you at all, for example during high stress and high psychological strain. Depending on the person, acute herpes can occur more often or very rarely. Herpes can occur almost anywhere on the body, not only on the face but also on the hands, feet and genital area.
You want fast help for your herpes?
For your reassurance, you are not alone in this. It is assumed that about 85% of Germans carry the herpes virus. Once you are infected, you carry the virus for life, there is no way to cure herpes. For some, despite infection, there is never an acute outbreak of the virus, so it can also be that you have herpes and know nothing about it.
Despite the fact that the virus cannot be killed, we are not powerless against herpes. The symptoms can be alleviated and the frequency of outbreaks can also be reduced through prevention and a healthy immune system.
Herpes: The most important in brief
Herpes is a widespread infectious disease. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that about two-thirds of the population carry the herpes virus (HSV-1) in are. Herpes simplex virus 1 causes cold sores and remains in the body of the affected person for life. Herpes simplex virus 2 is a rarer version of the virus and usually causes herpes in the genital area. Here, herpes can occur on the labia, the cervix or in the anal area.
The transmissibility of herpes is very high. Infection can occur through direct contact with herpes or through the mucous membranes. It is therefore a smear & droplet infection. In addition, herpes can be transmitted to the baby during birth.
Herpes usually breaks out when the immune system is heavily burdened, for example by a cold or other infectious diseases. In addition, stress, insufficient sleep, or intense sunlight can weaken the immune system and thus trigger herpes.
Cold sores usually heal on their own. The duration of the visible symptoms can only be shortened somewhat. If you use virus-inhibiting ointments or creams, you should be careful not to touch the herpes directly with your fingers. For example, use a cotton swab for application. Hygiene is especially important to avoid spreading the virus. Neither to another part of the body nor to other people.
Definition herpes
Herpes is caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). The most common form of the infection is manifested by blister-like, painful rashes on the skin and mucous membranes. There are two types of the viruses. Herpes simplex virus 1 usually leads to the familiar cold sore. Infection usually occurs in infancy, usually via smear or droplet infection. Herpes simples virus 2 is less common and usually occurs on the genital organs. It is mainly transmitted through sex.
3 Facts about herpes
Did you know that...
... some people carry the herpes virus and yet never have a visible rash all their lives.
... psychological stress can trigger herpes
... the initial infection with the herpes virus usually occurs by the age of 5.
This is what happens with herpes?
The first infection with herpes can be completely without symptoms. However, the first infection is usually the one with the most severe course. Before the red blisters form, the infected person can already feel the first signs. A tingling, itching or burning sensation as well as an unpleasant feeling of tension in the affected area can be harbingers of herpes. Sometimes the first infection is accompanied by fever, headache and malaise. The immune system is stressed by the viruses, which can also become noticeable through swelling of the lymph nodes.
Typically, at the first symptoms appear red blisters, which are filled with fluid. The blisters burst open after a few days and may hurt. They form a crust and leave a flat ulcer, which heals within about two to three weeks.
How does the infection with herpes occur?
Infection with herpes is usually transmitted through saliva, urine, stool, or skin lesions.
The fluid of the herpes blisters are particularly contagious. The fluid should therefore not be touched directly and the blisters should not be opened intentionally. The risk of infection is already lower when the blisters are crusted. but even then there is still an acute risk of infection. After two to three weeks, all external symptoms should have subsided. The danger of infection through touch is now over. If the virus is dormant, infection is not possible.
Direct contact with herpes, especially with the liquid is the greatest risk of infection. Kissing, close cuddling and even sharing glasses can lead to infection when herpes is active. The virus can also be transmitted through sneezing and coughing.
In the case of genital herpes, touching the herpes is also sufficient. Therefore, a condom is not sufficient protection, because possibly not the entire affected area is covered and despite the use of the condom can come into direct skin contact with the rash.
What promotes a herpes outbreak?
After the first appearance of herpes, it can reappear individually frequently or very rarely. Triggers of herpes are usually associated with a weakened immune system. A cold or other infectious diseases are often triggers of the viruses. But also mental and physical stress or too little sleep and relaxation stresses the body and can lead to a herpes rash.
Furthermore, you should take good care of your lips and protect them from too much sunlight. Lip balm with UV light protection factor cares for and protects the lips at the same time and thus minimizes the irritation of the nerves and the skin.
Hormonal changes such as menstruation or pregnancy can also activate the herpes viruses.
Is herpes dangerous?
Basically, a herpes rash heals by itself and thus does not cause any serious problems. Special attention should be paid to hygiene so that no viruses are spread.
However, in some situations, herpes can lead to major complications:
- If a bacterial infection creeps in, the symptoms can become more severe and take longer to heal. This is why hygiene is so important in acute herpes.
- If the eye is affected by herpes, the virus can damage the cornea and, in the worst case, reduce vision. Contact lens wearers should therefore not wear contact lenses for the duration of the acute herpes infection and prefer to switch to glasses to minimize the risk of the virus entering the eye.
- In rare cases, the virus also migrates to internal organs, affecting the nervous system or the brain. Here, the herpes virus can cause severe diseases.
- If a mother suffers from genital herpes at birth, she can transmit the virus to the baby at birth. Even after birth, the baby should be especially protected from herpes, because the immune system of a newborn is not yet fully developed.
