Every organ has their own nerves. Some have more or less their own brain cells (especially your gut). All nerves have memory to some degree - muscle memory is literally a thing
The amount of local regulatory control varies between organs, but the more complex they are the more you can assume the internal nerves control most of it and that the connection to the brain regulates it somewhat
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.
I’m sure I’m passing this sentence wrong, but I cannot work it out. It sounds like you’re saying that sometimes people don’t pee until they’ve had a transplant.
You can lose the ability to pee with kidney failure.
And your health goes down drastically once you do
When I started dialysis, I could still work and such. But I could also still pee.
After about 2 years, I lost the ability completely, and that’s when physical activity became harder, because the water removal fluctuations became harsher with dialysis.
Then I moved to Finland, which has hemodiafiltration instead of only hemodialysis like the USA, and got much better again.
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?
Ikr? You want a real answer but people just keep giving you jokes, or change the topic, or reply with memes / emoticons.

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

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.
Who needs machinery when you have this bad boy?
Sure beats asking Mom to bring the bucket!
To quote Cartman:“MOM! BATHROOM!”
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
How much time are you spending peeing? Is it that much of a burden on your schedule?
I’d think pooping or brushing your teeth would be much worse.
Doing all three at the same time seems unappealing.
I’m sure I’m passing this sentence wrong, but I cannot work it out. It sounds like you’re saying that sometimes people don’t pee until they’ve had a transplant.
Yup, that’s what I’m saying.

maybe they mean with dialysis?
If you go years without peeing, where does the pee go?
Do the balls just start getting bigger?
I’d say it’s a thing. Different bodies, different habits, different rhythms.
