Doctor's answer:

This secretion comes from the Cowper's glands or from nearby glands. This secretion enters the urethra (the tube through which urine and semen pass through the penis), near the base of the penis. It is a normal physiological reflex.
During arousal, secretions from different organs merge in the prostate and mix together. It is speculated that men who do not secrete any fluid before ejaculation still produce secretion from the Cowper's glands, but it mixes with other components of semen during ejaculation rather than being released outside the penis in advance. Therefore, the amount of fluid released is not particularly significant, and there is no need to worry. Wishing you good health.
