General & Family Physician,  's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

PCOS is one of the causes of delayed or irregular periods and ginette is one of the commonly prescribed medications for this condition.

Other aspects of treatment of PCOS include : (1) lifestyle changes which would cause weight loss of any excess weight.
This is an important part of treatment and weight loss can cause an improvement in periods

(2)metformin- this medication is most commonly used in diabetics and prediabetics (persons headed to diabetes) but it also have been found to be very useful in PCOS.
PCOS is associated with resistance to insulin (the body does not respond to its own insulin) and metformin decreases this insulin resistance and causes the periods to normalize.

I hope this helps
