At 72 years of age, already into menopause, if are experiencing vaginal bleeding then it would need to be investigated for possible cervical or endometrial cancer. A UTai infection will not present as vaginal bleeding unless there is evident hematuria accompanied with urination as well indicating a possible bladder stone or calculi.
