The answer

The pubic area is 'awrah (private parts) and it is impermissible to expose it to a female doctor or nurse except out of necessity or a need deemed legitimate by Sharia. This includes the need for treatment if it is the only available means and no other alternative exists, and provided that harm is averted. Otherwise, the basic principle is prohibition. What is permissible out of necessity or need is to be estimated according to its measure, so it is not permissible to exceed in looking or touching.
