Brief Answer:
Urinary tract infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Your symptoms are characteristic for urinary tract infection (urethra or bladder most likely). Frequent urinating, burning while urinating, blood in urine, lower abdominal pain can be present with this condition. Meth usage has rather nothing to do with it.
Do not be afraid to visit your doctor. He will only make regular urine analysis which wont detect Meth in urine. So no need to worry about it. And urine analysis is necessary to confirm this diagnose and to prescribe antibiotic.
You should also increase mineral water intake and start cranberries supplementation.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
