    It shouldn't stunt your growth. But we don't know what Medicine besides steroids they are giving you. You should discuss this with your doctor

    steroid can stunt your growth, depending on your age, if you mid to early 20's I would not worry to much, if your a teen 17-20I would question your Doctor or get second opinion, because steroids will close your growth plates early.

    If I understand well you might have some form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, probably mild, in which case your adrenal glands do not secrete enough steroids and sexual hormones.

    By giving you steroids, this might take care of it and your delayed puberty.

    I guess you are followed by an endocrinologist, i hope so.

    Only in that case would steroids be useful. Otherwise, if given to anybody at a high dose, it will stunt your growth.

    I would ask again your doctor, endocrinologist, to better understand your condition.

    Hope this help
