To cerclage or not to cerclage that is the question

Consider the case of a 19 yo primip with 17+ week twin pregnancy who was
referred to a perinatologist for a level II US. The patient is
asymptomatic. The perinatologist calls and tells you that the anatomical
survey was normal but the cervical length is 2.2 cm and the lower uterine
segment is bulging. She recommends a cerclage. The patient is asking for
your opinion.
I would appreciate any feedback.
Thanks in advance,
