'vaginal synechiae'

When I was six years old, I was called to see the school nurse. She had me get undressed and she had her hands between my legs and pulled on me and tore me and put some kind of cream on me. It was an extremely traumatic experience. It had always seemed to me that what she did was not ok, because we were in an office on the floor - not in the nurse's office. But of course, I was only a kid, so maybe it was ok and I just was traumatized by it. In any case, 20 years later, I asked my mom about it. She's one of those people who saves everything, and she still had the note that the nurse had sent home with me that day. It said that I had been treated for "vaginal synechiae" I did a little bit of research on this to find out what it is, and then asked my mom if I had ever had any problems as a child that would seem relevant, and she said no.

Anyway, all these years later, I'm still trying to understand what happened that day. So my question would be to a medical professional. If I had actually had that condition, would it have been an acceptable treatment for this nurse to have simply torn apart the place that was fused together? Would a nurse have been able to do that on her own without a doctor? If I wasn't having any problems with urination or anything like that, would a nurse have even found that kind of problem in a routine exam (at school) of a six year old? I can't recall a single other time in my childhood that a medical professional touched me there.

Thanks for any help.
