No, wait. I want the real answer. Is that a thing, bio-memory or whatever?

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).

If you go years without peeing, where does the pee go?

Do the balls just start getting bigger?
