If a medical specialization will compel a woman to touch men, mix with them, and expose their private parts, then she must abandon it and seek another specialization that does not involve these prohibitions, such as gynecology and pediatrics. This is especially true if it conflicts with the woman fulfilling the rights of her husband and children.
