The government is considering this. This is something I have been campaigning for. To get pelvic floor education into high schools.
Would love your opinions on this.....

That would fall under my subject. It is mixed sex classes. How would you like it delivered?

How is other content that is sex specific taught?

In mixed classes.

Good thing if boys learn about this problem too, just as they are taught about periods.

Men have a pelvic floor too

Men have a pelvic floor that can weaken too. No harm teaching everyone how to strengthen it.

Op, you said you've been campaigning for this. In your mind, what would it look like as a lesson?

Brilliant ... I wish I had understood the importance of it earlier....

I think this a great idea

I wish I’d understood it earlier 😭

As a first step I’d settle for pelvic floor support for women after childbirth, because for most women at the moment don’t even get that.

We were taught about this at school - part of PE!

I think it's perfectly reasonable for the OP to think it's important for certain information to be taught to kids without being expected to come up with a scheme of work, methodology or lesson plans herself .

Yeah I really think they should. I developed a prolapse in my late twenties and have never had children, and I had no idea this could happen to me. I feel like I could have been more careful had I known.
