We have a patient with a modified Milwaukee Corset. She mentioned
problems with personal hygiene such as changing sanitary pads.
Immediate suggestion to take off the brace when doing it are not
practical in the school toilet. My idea of lenghtening the arms is a
sarcastic expression of I do not know rather then a helpful suggestion.
A personal friend and Gynecologist suggested to stop the period with
drugs for the time she wears the corset and then go back to normal after
treatment
This seems a real problem for Milwaukee wearers and as the corset is
around since a few years I am sure one or the other of you have helpful
hints we could pass onto the patient.
