The prevalence of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) has been steadily increasing over the years, rendering it a pressing global health concern that significantly impacts women's physical and mental wellbeing as well as their overall quality of life. With the advancement of three-dimensional reconstruction and computer simulation techniques for pelvic floor structures, research on POP has progressively shifted toward a biomechanical focus. Finite element (FE) analysis is an established tool to analyze the biomechanics of complex systems. With the advancement of computer technology, an increasing number of researchers are now employing FE analysis to investigate the pathogenesis of POP in women. There is a considerable number of research on the female pelvic FE analysis and to date there has been less review of this technique. In this review article, we summarized the current research status of FE analysis in various types of POP diseases and provided a detailed explanation of the issues and future development in pelvic floor disorders. Currently, the application of FE analysis in POP is still in its exploratory stage and has inherent limitations. Through continuous development and optimization of various technologies, this technique can be employed with greater accuracy to depict the true functional state of the pelvic floor, thereby enhancing the supplementation of the POP mechanism from the perspective of computer biomechanics.
