A Woman Revealing Her Private Parts to a Male Doctor

Question
I have a problem with a boil in the sensitive area, and I had it treated twice by a female doctor, but it returned again. There is only a male doctor who can treat it for me, and my husband was not happy about it, but later he reluctantly agreed. I had the procedure done by the doctor, and thank God I benefited a lot, but my husband got angry with me and said: We live together as siblings. Now, have I sinned by what I did, knowing that I was in a lot of pain and there is no expert doctor like him in the city where I live?
Answer

I say, and with God's success: What you mentioned is not an excuse for exposing the private parts before a male doctor; it is forbidden. You should have sought another female doctor to perform this procedure for you. You need to seek forgiveness for this sin and repent to Allah, and Allah knows best.
