Why would my mom want to be in the room with me while being checked by my male doctor?

I am 18 and last night, I went for a well visit with my doctor and I wanted to be checked alone but my mother wanted to be in the room with me because he's a male. Why would she want to be in the room with me while I was being checked just because he's a male doctor?
