Dear Roseline,
Reumatic heart disease can affect heart valves.
Actually, surgery is considered in case of severely affected valves. Otherwise medical treatment and follow-up is only needed.
You should discuss the severity of your heart valve problems with your doctor.
Hope I could help you
Wishing you good health
