Hi,
After insertion of Mirena it will take some time for the adjustment, during that period you can see minimal spotting, cramps, vaginal discharge, etc. But usually the symptoms will subside soon without the need of medication.
If the symptoms persist at first you can take symptomatic treatment with your doctor's advice by taking analgesics local vaginal wash excetra if the symptoms didn't do not subside by taking this measures also better to get examined ones and undergo and ultrasound to confirm the intrauterine position of the Mirena.
If the symptoms persist and recurs, then you can go for removal of Mirena. It can be removed at any time during the month, but during that month you have to use some additional contraceptive method like barrier methods to prevent the possibility of pregnancy.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
