I have a shower with a single tear drop shaped acrylic pull handle. I have a leak problem. When I push the handle in, water continues to leak from the faucet. Any suggestions?

Many faucets come with cartridges.​

If yours is a Moen, you can remove the handle,​

remove the tube behind the handle,​

pull out the u-shapped clip​

Remove the cartridge.​

That fits the description, once I remove that, do I have to replace it with a new one?

yes, get a replacement cartridge and reassemble. You should be good for a numberof years.
