I did google that and found nothing that said that steroids would cause a healthy 20 something man to lose a couple inches in height. Your quote is quite wishy washy and not really supporting evidence to your claim.
- WalterBright 6y agoNevertheless, steroids are still implicated in height loss. He took a lot of steroids (I don't know which ones), his doctor told him that was the cause, and nothing else accounted for it. Anyone considering steroids should consult with a physician first. Me, I wasn't willing to take the risk.
- DoreenMichele 6y agoTry searching for "steroids osteoporosis." It's a known thing they can cause osteoporosis and osteoporosis can cause height loss.
- treis 6y agoThose are corticosteroids not anabolic steroids. If you search anabolic steroids osteoprosis you will see that there is some evidence they should be prescribed to help reverse osteoperosis.
- DoreenMichele 6y agoOP already stated they don't know what kind of steroids were used. It's an anecdote and third-hand information, at best. Maybe OP misremembered something. Maybe the doctor was wrong or simply trying to convince the guy to stop using steroids. Maybe the guy lied about what really happened to protect their medical privacy. None of us is in any position to determine what really happened. Facts as I understand them: OP chose to not use steroids themselves because of scary story from person they knew. Everything else is damn near wild conjecture as to "what really happened."
