Hi,

Short cervix may be due to developmental problem, repeated pregnancy, cervix surgery, or injury, etc. It should be managed as per the cause. Cerclage, that is suturing of the cervix during pregnancy to carry the pregnancy till the actual duration of pregnancy.

Protein S deficiency should be evaluated for the cause whether it is due to acute thrombotic events or due to hereditary cause. Depends on the cause anticoagulant therapy to carry the pregnancy till delivery date. Free Protein S assay helps to confirm the etiology. Visit the obstetrician and physician for further evaluation.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
