Brief Answer:
Hormonal imbalance

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

It is very common in PCOS to miss a period or many months of cycles. This happens due to hormonal imbalance caused by anovulatory cycles. Anovulatory cycles are ones where there is no ovulation. Sometimes in PCOS there is no ovulation, this happens due to the very low number of ovarian follicles in the ovaries.

When there is no ovulation, the hormonal balance gets distorted and leads to improper growth of the glands in the uterus. When the improperly grown glands are shed, there might be no bleeding leading to dry periods or absence of periods.

Hope, I answered your query. Wish you good health.

Regards
