that you may have about the disease. Potential topics could be:
difference between dementia types, financial considerations,
legal preparation, long-term care options, how to make your
home safer, activities, and caregiver support.
Dr. Dewayne Nash is a physician who has been diagnosed with
mild cognitive impairment and writes about his journey for his

Are menopause symptoms an issue for you
or your partner?
Thursday, March 31, 5:30 p.m., CCAN
Hosted By: Mockingbird Ob/Gyn, P.A.
Purchase your $1 ticket online or at the Member Services Office.
A change in the female system is inevitable with age and a lack of
estrogen. Once a woman approaches menopause and especially
after menopause, a woman’s organs undergo changes from the
lack of estrogen. These changes are called atrophy, and the

problem is called genitourinary syndrome of menopause. It is
normal for these changes in hormone levels to cause discomfort,
dryness and pain which can ultimately affect intimacy with
your partner. However, you do have options!
While men can also experience age-related challenges with
intimacy, the advent of medications and other therapies have
enabled men to have sexual relations for many more years.
There has not been a similar “quick-fix” for women as hormone-
based therapies traditionally used to treat symptoms can pose
potential safety concerns and not every woman is a candidate
for this treatment. This disparity in options has made it difficult
for these women to “keep up” with their partners.
Melanie Hendricks Pagette, M.D., has been an Ob/Gyn for 22
years and has helped thousands of couples work through these
changes and manage symptoms to prolong intimacy in their
relationship. Come hear about an innovative, non-hormonal
clinically-proven FDA approved therapeutic option for treatment!
