could this be translated into do i have to or you have to?

Hi sophie, thank you for your query.. Doushitemo is commonly used to emphasize something that you can't avoid like in the sample post. It's totally different with "do i have to or you have to".

Sometimes I hear this word in a conversation such as this:
-Doushite?
-Doushite mo.
It sounds to me like "It is as it is", but I am not sure what it really means. The subtitle doesn't help either.
