Hi.
Thanks for your query.

The Mirena coil being a foreign body in the uterus can cause the uterine contraction to cause the lower abdominal cramps.
The changed environment of the uterine cavity may not be allowing to have a proper menstrual flow.
You can always check this by an ultrasonography, the status of the uterus, position of Mirena Coil, sighs PID,- Pelvic Inflammatory disease or any problem with the ovaries and / or Fallopian Tubes.
If there are associated symptoms related to bowel or bladder a course of antibiotic and metronidazole will help.
If the cause is Mirena coil, it may have to be removed. Consult a Gynecologist to get a confirmed diagnosis and to have a proper plan of treatment .
