Abstract: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) refers to the downward movement of the uterus and its adjacent urinary tract, bladder, and rectum due to weakness or damage to the pelvic floor support structure. This has led to a series of symptoms such as urinary incontinence, difficulty urinating, and sexual problems. POP is a type of benign disease that occurs frequently among middle-aged and older women. Its high incidence, high treatment costs, and heavy socio-economic, and medical burdens seriously affect the quality of life of female patients. With the remarkable achievements in the development of gynecologic urology and pelvic floor reconstruction surgery in recent years, significant breakthroughs have been made in the study of the pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment and disease-related risk factors of POP. At present, the research on POP quality of life is mostly assessed by pelvic floor surgery or pelvic floor physiotherapy, and there is still a lack of in-depth research. Related studies have shown that the severity of POP symptoms, surgical history, pelvic floor rehabilitation, obesity, and whether other types of pelvic floor diseases and mental disorders are combined may be important factors affecting the quality of life of POP patients. This article reviews the influencing factors of quality of life in patients with pelvic organ prolapse in order to provide a theoretical basis for the development of relevant clinical interventions.
