Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
your all paps test are normal, it means cervical carcinoma; the most serious cause of post coital bleeding has been ruled out.
If intercourse is done after a long interval, you can get vaginal lacerations due to unaccustomed vagina.
However it would be very difficult to be confirm without local examination.
So consult your gynaecologist for local examination & further evaluation.
I will be available for your further follow up queries.

Regards,
Dr.Monika
