It is permissible to use medicine if it does not result in health harm, and specialized doctors must be consulted. If a woman is compelled to see a doctor and cannot find a female doctor, she is permitted to consult a male doctor, while adhering to the Sharia guidelines, such as avoiding privacy (khalwa) and not touching or looking at what is not necessary.
