The answer

There is no harm for a woman to go to a male doctor when a female specialist and competent doctor is not available. The conditions for this are: only the affected area should be exposed, and the rest should be covered; a , husband, or a trustworthy woman must be present to prevent seclusion; and the examination must be limited to what is necessary for diagnosis and treatment, without excess.
