A physician looking at the genitals

Question

A physician, when examining a patient for sexual weakness, also looks at the genital organ, because this greatly helps in the diagnosis. Is it permissible for him to do so or impermissible?

Answer

If treatment is not possible without looking, then there is allowance for it out of compulsion.
