If you have previously been able to palpate both testicles within the scrotum on a patient, do you continue to do testicular exams at each well child check?

No, if testicles were previously descended, I do not repeat the exam unless there are concerns.

Rarely (defined as < 25% of the time) I will repeat the exam during well child visits.

Some of the time (defined as between 25-75% of the time) I repeat the exam during well child visits.

Most of the time (defined as >75% of the time) I repeat the exam during well child visits.

I continue to do yearly testicular exams at each well child visits.

Unsure.
