I'm a male who had a very thorough physical by my (new to me) female doctor. Pretty much everything that could be examined, inside and out, was. After meeting my doctor and talking with her about my medical history and current concerns, I felt comfortable enough that I decided to not ask for a chaperone for the exam. And that's the thing here; there is no hard-fast rule as it has to do more with your or your physician's comfort level. If my doctor felt uncomfortable, she would have likely asked if I minded a nurse in the exam room (would have been okay with me, too). So, there "should" only be another person present if you are uncomfortable being examined alone by your female doc. Don't forget that any doctor sees many patients a day and at the point in their career where they're part of a practice, a body is a body, male or female, and there are certain procedures for examining that body which the doctor goes through. As an aside, my doctor had a great bedside manner, sense of humor, and very good hands. Also, I have to say that she listened much better and took more time during the interview and exam than I had experienced with male doctors. Not sure if this is anyone else's experience but it is what will cause me to keep her as my PCP. Hope this helps a bit...
