Very good option: I understand that insertion of a Mirena IUD raises concerns (that you should discuss);it should not be a painful procedure if performed by a skilled and caring clinician. You may request that a local anesthetic be used in and around your cervix a few minutes before IUD insertion.Will not find that it is “comparable to an endometrial biopsy”.Take a NSAID like a diclofenac or mefenamate 1 hr before
