A member asked:

I had a d&c and the mirena inserted about 6 weeks ago due to severe menstrual pain. i am still bleeding and the pain is here again. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Mirena IUD: Insertion of the Mirena IUD just following a "D&C" may cause it to be pushed into the cervical canal from strong uterine contractions, leading to continued bleeding and pain. See the provider who did the D&C and put in the IUD for an exam and possible ultrasound to make sure the IUD is within the uterus and not the canal.
