It’s actually not known why, but it’s very common with kidney transplant. I was told it’s thought to be because of the bladder, not the kidney (since we can go years without peeing before transplant).
That makes sense, the bladder isn’t used to having a normal volume of urine and has become extra sensitive, leading to an urge to urinate at a lower capacity.
Only if the alternative was doing nothing. Having to sit down and stay still in a chair for many hours whilst hooked up to machinery doesn’t sound like much of an improvement.
CKD patients on dialysis are not used to have urine in their bladder, which has lost its muscle tone and volume because of disuse, so people need to urinate more frequently for a certain time period after their kidney transplant and their nervous system has to be retrained for sensation, contractility and voiding.
No, wait. I want the real answer. Is that a thing, bio-memory or whatever?

Man I wish I could go years without peeing. Would save so much time

Who needs machinery when you have this bad boy?
I mean, isn’t that what we basically all do for at least 8h a day anyway? Except that our machinery has screens and Internet.
What? And miss getting a hit of those sweet sweet endorphins every time I have a full-to-bursting bladder and unleash the torrential riptide?
It was the most convenient thing, unless you ate something too salty or get the water crazies.
Because then you start to drown in your own lungs.
But, watching any show, movie, or playing a game without having to pee was very convenient
If you go years without peeing, where does the pee go?
Do the balls just start getting bigger?
