It is generally not advisable to lift heavy objects during menstruation. Lifting heavy items may strain the uterus, and since menstruation is typically caused by the shedding of the uterine lining, such physical exertion could lead to prolonged menstrual periods. Therefore, it's important to avoid lifting heavy objects during menstruation and to get adequate rest, in order to prevent dysmenorrhea (painful periods) and support proper recovery.
