Hormone replacement therapy is linked with a lower risk of epiphora in humans among postmenopausal women; current versus never users (OR 0.68, 95% CI 0.49-0.94).
“current HRT use was significantly associated with reduced odds of epiphora compared with never users (odds ratio 0.68, 95% confidence interval 0.49-0.94, p=0.021)”
