At a cervical length of 2.5 it depends on ur previous history..and symptoms..
If u hv had previous history of abortions , ny fetal loss , if this s IVF conception , ny previous surgeries on uterus or cervix..
And if ny symptoms like pain or excessive discharge s there..
Its advisable to do a prophylactic encerclage.
As gest age advances it becomes more n more difficult to do encerclage.
