Cold Sores Causes and Remedies
Cause #3: Hormonal Swings
Every day, hormones are causing a profound effect on our lives. They help to regulate certain functions within our bodies, while they also help to regulate our mood and our general outlook on life. Our hormone levels are not constant, though, and hormonal swings can have quite an effect.
Changes in hormone levels can have a considerable impact on how we feel and they can also affect us in other ways. They can also affect our immune system, potentially make us more susceptible to infection and disease. As a result, cold sores can arise when our hormonal levels fluctuate. Menstruating women, in particular, can be prone to developing cold sores.
