It's not a concern if menstruation stops after inserting the Mirena IUD. This is generally a physiological response caused by the device affecting the endometrium, leading to endometrial atrophy. For most women, this is actually beneficial and does not require any treatment. Women usually have the Mirena IUD inserted due to conditions such as adenomyosis, which causes heavy menstrual bleeding and severe dysmenorrhea, so the IUD is placed as part of the treatment.
