Answer

(Fatwa: 791/661/B=1432)

If a Muslim doctor is a gynaecologist he may see the satr of a woman if required only as per needed and may have their check-up as well. However if any woman gynaecologist doctor is available, a woman should go to her for check-up and should avoid going to male doctor for check-up.
