Suggest Treatment For Mitral And Tricuspid Regurgitation

gud mng sir, 9 months before i got my cardiac check-up at CMC,vellore,india. my echo report revealed trace mitral and tricuspid regurgitations. doctors there told me to have an echo done a year later once again and come back for valve replacement.. I want to ask you how could this problem be treated and is it sure that i would have to go through surgery? Isn t there any medicine to cure this disease? Interpretation summary of the echo report: Bicuspid AV, AR Mild,No AS, DesAo Gdt-25mmHg, Normal LV Function,Poor Echo Window There is trace mitral regurgitation. There is trace tricuspid regurgitation aortic valve:H/L VOT-5/28 Please sir answer me I am very nervous..I am just 20 and my big bro also went through valve replacement surgery 4 years ago...thanks for your kind consideration

Cardiologist,  's  Response
I have gone through your case history.First of let me explain to you about you rvalve which is different from normal right from birth.Normal aortic valve has 3 cusps, in your case nature has given only 2 cusps that is what we call bicuspid aortic valve.such valve can become narrow(stenosis)or may start leaking(regurgitation.)In your case it is not stenosed with just mild regurgitation.i have so many patients with me following for more than decade without any progression of lesion.in your case as on today you don't need surgery,only thing you should go for follow up check up every year.Trace mitral and tricuspid regurgitation are not significant at all.So dont worry and live normal life.
My best wishes.
