Question : #457

Subject:	male gynecologists with female patients
Question:	Over here in States most of the gynecologists are male and sometimes it becomes very difficult to find a good doctor close to home. In States I have seen many Muslim ladies going to male doctors who deliver their babies. Can Muslim women go to male gynecologists ?
Answer:	The rule regarding this is that a person is required to see a doctor of the same sex when touching and examination of the private parts are involved. Exceptions can be made when there is an emergency or a lack of availability of a doctor of the same sex. Also, when there is a question of competence, a person can opt for a more qualified doctor of the opposite sex if the issue of competence is vital to one's health.
