why do we feel weak in the time of periods?

Answer 1

In the time of periods all the unwanted toxins in the body gets accumulated and uterus is a let out and also blood is purified it also throws out the impure blood and helps cleans the entire system. That is why we feel tired.

Answer 2

feel weak when lose blood during my period?
Probably not. Usually, there are only four to six tablespoonfuls of blood in the whole flow. This is a small amount. The rest is bits of the unused lining and other fluids. By the time your period ends, the flow will have amounted to between half a cup and a full cup of liquid.
Women who have a very heavy flow and change maxi pads or super tampons every few hours should see their clinician. A simple blood test can tell if a heavy period is causing anemia — feeling tired because of a loss of red blood cells. A healthy diet replaces lost blood cells.

Answer 3

A new British study suggests that women are more susceptible to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) at specific times in their menstrual cycle. The findings will contribute to the fund of knowledge about gender differences, an important factor in the ergonomic design of workplaces.

The study suggests the risk is linked to fluctuating hormone levels that affect the muscles and ligaments. According to the BBC, which reported the study, London's Portland Hospital surveyed 1,000 osteopaths and studied 17 women with a regular menstrual cycle. The researchers found that midway through the cycle the level of the female sex hormone oestrogen, which gives strength to muscles and ligaments, drops dramatically and there is sudden weakness. At the end of the cycle levels of another hormone, relaxin, rise. This is to allow the cervix to open so that menstruation can occur, but it also means the ligaments in general are softened. The researchers say that strains and other injuries were more likely at both these stages.

"I had noted that, whereas men often came to me with injuries due to sport or over-exertion, women often couldn't explain why simple acts like reaching down to pick something up had caused injury and pain," lead researcher Dr Stephen Sandler, an osteopath, explained in the BBC article.

He compared hormone levels in the blood with the laxity of the forefinger joint. He found joint laxity increased throughout the hormone cycle, then reverted back to normal once the period began.

The study suggests that women on the combined pill, who do not experience sudden drops in their oestrogen levels, are less likely to experience injury as the result of loosened joints.
The frequency and severity of physical and emotional menstrual symptoms were investigated with a cross-sectional study of 502 women not seeking treatment for menstrual symptoms. The most frequent symptoms were abdominal bloating, backache, headache, constipation, low abdominal pain, fatigue and symptoms related to depression. Some symptoms increased during the late luteal phase, and others were related to the women's life-style. Lack of schooling and living in rural areas were associated with headache, backache, sadness, insecurity, restlessness and weakness. Women from urban areas with more schooling had more breast tenderness, abdominal pain, irritability, depression, aggressiveness and increased sexual desire. Younger women had increased appetite, lack of concentration, insecurity, desire to be alone, weakness and dissatisfaction with their looks. Heavier women had more leg cramps, swollen feet, lack of coordination and polydipsia. Menstrual symptoms seem to be determined by the interplay of the menstrual cycle with biologic factors and life-style.
