There are actually three medical reasons that I know of. Maybe others can add more.
1. A greatly lowered HIV infection rate since it is now believed HIV can enter through the glands of the in-tact foreskin. The rate is 4 times less, I believe.
2. Diminished chance of penile cancer.
3. Some uncircumcised men can't pull the foreskin back and must consider corrective surgery. I know someone who recently had this done, and he was in horrific pain for 3 days straight.
