Routine genital exams in Neurology visits?

I just read the thread here on the cremasteric reflex, & I want to know (anecdotally) the extent to which the cremasteric reflex, the dartos reflex the anal wink, & bulbocavernosus tests done on patients here (say at an initial neurology visit) who aren't suspected of spinal cord injury, MS, impotence or incontinence -- the tests jist performed rather grtuitously by a physician or NP, just to cross their T's & dot their I's

* I do an dartos reflex on myself prior to shaving my scrotum

I had 2 neurology visits 4 years ago, a neurology visit in April 2024, and neurosurgeon (who found several damaged nerves and operated on my neck) Those three did not do a cremasteric reflex or other genital exams.

Thanks for answering & your neurosurgeon seemed reasonable & used sane judgement. It makes me wonder about some of these reports, if people make them up, or if they are simply taken advantage of by their providers, not all of whom are neurologists or neurosurgeons, either & probably shouldn't be doing those exams.

I have had 3 different neurologists and none ever did any kind of genital examination. It was all deferred to my PCP.

Both my wife and have seen neurologists. Just once for me for some neuropathy tests, my wife maybe 20 times over the years for separate neurological issues and MS. Never has an intimate test been done. Always fully clothed (except gowns for MRIs).
