Istifta 188 — Medical issues

The medical profession demands that the doctor checks his female patients carefully; and since getting undressed for medical check up is common in some European countries, is it permissible to engage in medical practice here in such circumstances?
Answer
It is permissible, if one refrains from forbidden looking and touching, except where the check up of the patient requires them.
