Want to answer more questions in the Sexual Health and Reproduction category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Virginity?
It cannot be proven whether or not you are a virgin by a doctor. A woman's hymen can break before she has sexual intercourse for the first time for several reasons: horseback riding, gymnastics, exercise etc. Rest easy, it cannot be proven.

Exactly what the other girl said, it's completely fine. You have nothing to worry about.

You're mom is just trying to scare you. There is no way for a doctor to tell if you are a virgin or not. Not every woman is born with a hymen. And a hymen can break during natural occurrences. It's okay.

It all depends on where you live. Most first-world countries have laws about patient confidentiality. You can always request that she not be in there with you, and they're not allowed to give any information you don't want them to.
Even if you were to be examined, there's no sure-fire way to tell if someone is a virgin or not. Just because the hymen is broken doesn't mean that the woman is not a virgin: it can be broken riding bicycles, using tampons or any other number of ways.
If you live in a place where womens' rights are challenged, try contacting a womens' organization in your area. They may be able to offer you resources for your protection if there's going to be serious fallout from a "negative" virginity test.

Well this depends on your age. IF you are over 14 years of age your mother cannot legally force you to see a doctor and be examined for this reason.
As a minor she can take you to the doctor if she feels you need to see the doctor. Under a law known as HIPPA she has no control over your medical files or information when it comes to your Reproductive Systems.
Under a Federal Law known as HIPPA; which stands for Health Information Personal Privacy ACT. Congress granted confidentiality to anyone over the age of 14 years of age. This was done so that people over this age could seek medical help without needing parental permission when having problems with their reproductive system.
In your case for what mom wants from the doctor to examine you for, she is not entitled to under HIPPA. She can take you to the doctor. She cannot be in the exam room with you and the doctor can tell her nothing of what was said between you and him or her. The doctor cannot tell mom what you are examined or treated for and if you ask the doctor will prescribe birth control.
For mom or anyone else to get any information on your reproductive health requires your written permission to the doctor to release it. If you watched the program "House." A couple of seasons ago one of his patients was found to be pregnant. She was over 14 . When her parents asked House what was wrong he said to ask their daughter. It was the HIPPA law that prevented him from telling them that she was pregnant and going to have an abortion.
In short: Mom may have the legal right to force you to see a doctor. If so she is going to be very disappointed if you are over 14. For all you need to say to the doctor is; I'm 14 and I want to invoke my rights under HIPPA."
The doctor will take it from there and explain to mom she must sit in the waiting room and that he or she will examine you IF you wish to be examined. The results of this examine are confidential and she will not be able by law to be told the results of anything found.
If you are under 14 you have no choice.
