Advice concerning the issue of women and doctors
Question

                What is your opinion on the issue of woman and doctors and the advice for Muslim sisters and parents concerning this matter?
Praise be to Allah.
    Undoubtedly the issue of women and doctors is an important 
    matter, and in fact it causes a great deal of trouble. But if Allaah blesses 
    a woman with taqwa (piety) and insight, then she will take precautions and 
    pay attention to this matter. She should not be alone with the doctor and 
    the doctor should not be alone with her. The authorities [in Saudi Arabia] 
    have issued orders and directives stating that this is not allowed. Women 
    must also pay attention to this matter and should try to seek competent 
    female doctors. If they find a female doctor, then praise be to Allaah and 
    there is no need for a male doctor. But if a woman needs to see a male 
    doctor because there are no female doctors, then in the case of necessity 
    there is nothing wrong with her being examined and treated by him. This is 
    one of the things that are permitted in case of necessity, but if she has to 
    uncover part of her body then she should not do that if she is alone with 
    the doctor, rather it should be in the presence of her mahram or husband, if 
    it involves uncovering something ordinary like the head, hand or foot, etc. 
    If her ‘awrah must be uncovered then she should have her husband with her, 
    if she is married, or another woman, which is better and is more on the safe 
    side; or there should be one or two nurses present. But if another woman, 
    apart from the nurse, can be with her, this is better and is more on the 
    safe side and more removed from suspicion. But as for being alone with the 
    doctor, this is not permitted.
