I have severe pain during my periods since getting an IUD inserted. Will these pains decrease over time?

Yes, usually the pain during periods caused by an IUD will decrease over time. The swelling in that area during menstruation can push on the IUD and cause discomfort, but it should eventually settle into place properly. If the pain remains severe after three cycles, it may be worth considering alternative contraceptive options.
