Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
Heart valve leakage treatment depends on the severity and extent of disease.
Medications only help in controlling the symptoms associated with it and also to lessed the damage caused.
But to prevent any further complications surgery is the option and along with that medications also have to be taken.
During surgery depending on the extent of damage, valves are repaired or replaced.
I would advise you to go according to your treating Doctor's advice to prevent any future complications.
Hope this answers your query.I will be available for follow up in case of doubt.
