Hello,
Insertion of Mirena, within 7 months of delivery, it is possible that the C-section scar on the uterus is not healed enough, and the healing process might have led to constriction of the cervix which makes it painful to insert. Thus, under anesthesia, they can dial are the cervix and insert it.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
