Hello,
From inserting Mirena can happen that the inside part of uterus can be damaged but that is very rare. Also, the hormonal levels that Mirena gives you can cause a little bit of bleeding that can last 3 months after insertion. But if you have discomfort and it is not getting better then for sure consider seeing your gynecologist to check what is going on.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
