Hello
Mr. Shahid , you didn't mention your age .
As you mentioned that your height decreases due to the regular use of steroid , so please mention in detail ,which type f steroid , you used and doses and duration .
The reason of decrease in the height may be due to decrease in bone density , so get in bone density examination as well blood examination for calcium , Vitamin D3 and phosphorus .
Growth hormone is available for increase for height , so either consult an ENDOCRINOLOGIST or another option is bone grafting ( surgery for enhancement for height).
For surgery ,consult an orthopedic doctor .
Hope this will be helpful for you.
Good luck.
