They don't. They just check your ears, eyes, nose, mouth, blood pressure, height, weight, like a normal check up. I've never been asked anything like that, but if they do ask you, don't lie. If you really think they're going to, you can ask your mom to leave the room, but before they ask, so its not too obvious. When I go, they don't check down there, but some places do. But nothing that they'll be able to tell whether or not you're a virgin or sexually active. Good luck! [ advicer's advice column | Ask advicer A Question ]

Seeing as you're a teenager, they may ask you if you're sexually active. Do NOT lie. There's nothing to be ashamed of, they are professional doctors used to this type of thing and to be frank, if you're embarassed about someone asking you if you're sexually active, you're not mentally mature enough to be having sex in the first place.
I'm 99% certain they will not look at you ''down there''. This is a general check-up with a normal doctor, not a gynocologist.
I think the reason you don't want your mum to go in with you is because she doesn't know you're not a virgin, right? I don't agree with decieving your mum but it's your choice, it's your physical check-up. You have a choice whether or not you want her to be there and if she insists she wants to be there just tell her you want to do it on your own as you're not comfortable with it. Hopefully she'll understand but just remember, you're a teenager not a child, you ARE allowed to choose whether or not you want your mother there.

They will not make you fill out a survey about your sexual experiences and such. They will not know if you are a virgin or not because this is not the gyno and even so your hymen can be unattached by the usage of a tampon and sports. You do not take off you underwear, the doctor just looks to make sure that everything looks normal (like at ur clit, but not actually inside the vagina). Really, they just check your temperature, weight, blood pressure, back and that sort of thing. You keep your bra and panties on abd you wear a paper or cloth robe provided by them. It's really no big deal. You may get a shot since you have been before, but shots do NOT hurt. I promise you, I never even knew that they had put it in whenever i get shots. Just take a deep breath and relax. It'll be perfectly fine and no mention of your sexual life will come up because I'm guessing you are only a teenager. They will ask you about your period, but that's pretty much it. Dont stress, its no biggie =)
