Self-injury is not a symptom of depression. It is a way of coping. One doesn't need to depressed to self-injure. A physician who is familiar with mental illness knows this. Unfortunately most gynecologists don't.
In the 1990s if a psychiatrist learned of any self-injury they would automatically diagnose BPD even if the patient didn't meet the minimum criteria. I'm glad that isn't happening as much today (and to you).
